    Ludwig Classic Maple or Gretsch Renown

    Thank you for the information. Do you know if these would be considered better than the Master Maples or Studio Sessions? On paper they all 3 seem to be similar. The shell width may vary I guess.

    Mapex Saturn vs Mapex Saturn Evolution

    Does anyone know the main differences between the Mapex Saturn's and Mapex Saturn Evolutions besides the halo mount/hardware and price? I'm looking to upgrade from my Pearl Export but didn't know the difference between the two and can't really find much info about them. Thanks.
