Best Maple Drumkit around $1000

Check out a Gretsch Renown. I think the 30 degree bearing edges give it a fatter sound than, say, a Pearl Masters (which I think projects/cuts a little better) or others with the sharper 45 degree bearing edge that's more common in modern drums.
As others have said, anything in that price range is built well, so play as many as you can and you might be surprised at what you end with.

I have tested a gretch, love the 16 floor, allmoste now tension on a pinstripe and still fat boomy and resonating :eek: OMG .... to give you an idea, i'm playing on a mapex v series for about 7 years :p ..... i was chocked when i played on the renown :D....
