Sonor, Ludwig, Mapex Gimme a shot

Hello.

I've been thinking about a mid-priced drumkit from Sonor, Mapex or Ludwig. atm i got a Yamaha Stage Custom Birch. I don't know if i like the birch, haven't tried anything else. Alot of people like maple. I've seen the Sonor Essential Force s drive with two racktoms and two floortoms. - I kinda like it. Also i've heard about the Mapex Saturn - should be good, never heard or tried it. You guys got any suggestions :) ?

They're about 1700 USD here in Denmark, but i can't afford to buy from Ebay since i can't get to look at it first. Even though it's only 1000 USD....
I have to buy new, there's nothing which is used that i seem to like. Either overpriced or too low quality.

The Ludwig Classic Maples are terrific drums as are the Ludwig Keystones. I think you would be very happy to have either of these kits.

I've never played a Ludwig, that's why i really want to try it.

Don't trade your intermediate kit in for another intermediate kit. Instead, look up Highwood Drums in the UK or Adoro Drums in Deutschland.

For a similar price as an intermediate big-name brand kit, you could be getting yourself a pro-quality kit tailored just for you.
