Just picked up this beautiful mapex saturn series in deep water maple burl finish. So stoked after playing a Pearl forum kit for 12+ years!

Congratulations my friend!! Reminds me of when I got tired of playing my Tama Rockstars after 12 or so years and plunked down the cash for a used USA Custom set. Now I’m kinda going back to the middle and getting a PDP concept maple just for bar gigs.
 
A Pearl Forum kit, that held up for 12 years, sure speaks volumes about Pearl.
BUT that Mapex Saturn kit is really gorgeous 👍 Congratulations.
 
I love that finish! Nothing like a good upgrade. I had a pearl export for about 11 years before I upgraded to a Tama Starclassic B/B.

Nice! How do they sound?
 
Very nice!

BTW: how do you get behind the kit, walking through the door?
 
Congrats! Nice kit.

I played a set of new Saturns about three weeks ago and was impressed by the sound of the kit and the fit and finish of it. You did great!
 
That is a great set of drums and great finish. I had a four-piece version of the same kit, but I gave it to our church. Then I bought a new one in a different finish. Peace and goodwill.

The Saturns I gave to our church.

That's an amazing switch! I'm sure it sounds amazing! What made you chose this kit specifically?

Hi i love my Saturn iv too..same deep water finish as yours but with black chrome which looks awesome. I bought it second hand a few months ago but some of the black chrome rims need polishing, can anyone recommend a tried and tested product or method to clean and restore black chrome back to its best please?A101716C-4EE9-4763-BCDB-25F2C1477A44.jpeg
