Hi guys, been a very long time since I posted in here with my cheap starter kit, however I have been jealously stalking all of these threads looking at people's lovely gear!
As I've got into a band at university and we started gigging, I felt compelled to save up for a new kit that could withstand some shows (I'm a hard hitter) and also sound amazing at the same time. I was looking for a mid-range kit with an undrilled kick, and so browsed the new Mapex Meridian Maple and Yamaha Rock Tour series. However, I saw on a website of a drum shop relatively near me that they were selling a three piece Mapex Saturn shell pack for a reduced rate due to what they described as 'cosmetic blemishes'. The opportunity to buy some professional level gear, with what is essentially my dream finish, was too much to resist and I leapt for it, despite it being slightly out of my price range (God bless summer jobs!)
So without any further ado, may I introduce my Mapex Saturn kit in Blue Galaxy Burst finish!
20x16 kick
12x9 tom
14x12 floor tom
14x6.5 Mapex MPX Hammered Steel Snare
13'' Sabian Pro Fusion Hats
16'' Sabian AAX Stage Crash
18'' Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash
20'' Meinl MCS Ride
18'' Zildjian A Custom China
