Those are GREAT looking drums !
I play a cheap set of Mapex drums at a rehearsal hall once a week. I think they sound pretty good. I'm beginning to like Mapex more and more.

Thanks Jim, 'ppreciate it.
I wanted a new kit what with my '71 Ludwig Walnut Thermogloss kit having gotten so beat up from many,many gigs in the 70's/80's. I'd read some good things about the maple/walnut hybrid shell. Tried out a set of these and a set of Renowns. They both sounded great but I thought the Mapex cut through a little better and looked more edgy.
It wasn't so much that one was "better" than the other but rather I just bought the one I liked more. It sure didn't come down to badges or logo design !! To me, that's just ridiculous unless you're buying as a collector.
