My new drum set! - Mapex Armory Studioease - Unboxing 

Brian Daniels great in-site dude!

I would just add - by used. I haven't had a chance to try Saluda cymbals, because there are almost none in Europe, but I always prefer smaller companies than overpriced Paiste, Meinl, Zildjian, Sabian. I don't know what the situation is with the prices of Turkish cymbals in the USA, but they are much cheaper in Europe than the Big 4. They don’t make entry-level brass trash, but only professional, hand-forged b20 alloy cymbals. Diril, Murat Diril, Istanbul Mehmet, Istanbul Agop, Anatolian, Impression, Turkish, Bosphorus, Symrna, etc... You can't go wrong with any of these. There are so many great companies that make cymbals of the same quality as the Big 4, at a much lower price. The Turks invented cymbals and are still the best at it, and the entire Meinl Byzance series are hand hammered in Turkey, I think in Diril factory.

It’s a fantastic set!

It’s a fantastic set! You’ll love it!

How is it. Mine is on the way right now..same color

Какая разница какой цвет ? когда ты играешь тебе его всё равно не видно 🤭

Thank you! That does sound exciting! I was never good at keyboard percussion instruments.

John Scheiber you’re welcome:), and it’s amazing!!, I’m also not super strong on mallet percussion, however I want to get to stronger with mallet percussion, but my best internment is timpani, I played it for four years I’m marching band.

@@matthewmajestic1013 I've already written this comment separately, but I will repeat: Mapex=best bang for the buck; DW=overpriced & overrated. DW has strong marketing, but they aren't better than the competition, only significantly more expensive. Mapex Saturn, Pearl Masters, Tama Starclassic Birch/Walnut and Gretsch Renown are fantastic high-end drums, and are almost twice as cheap as DW. For that amount of money I would rather buy some custom kit by George H. Way, Noble & Cooley, Craviotto, etc... Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia

It's the Black Dawn finish!

Add items to your watch list on Reverb! Occasionally, the seller might offer a special deal to everyone watching that item!

@@JohnScheiber oh wow, how much is a discount did you get? Was this used?

Yes

Dan Rivera I actually ordered the ebony versions of those before I ordered the set! I’ve always loved the resonance of those heads!

John Scheiber have you tried the suede though? It’s coated.

John Scheiber Sorry I meant to say ebony suede in the beginning, not sure why it came out that way. Yeah that’s what I was talking about. I also used Evans Rezo heads. My mapex armory sounds like a beast now.

John Scheiber Not so much on my Saturn kit though. They sound good but muffled. I don’t want to tune up so I ordered ambassador x. We’ll see.

Those are great drums for the money but the stock heads suck.
