Members MikeD Posted November 24, 2002 Members Share Posted November 24, 2002 Ok - so I can either kit in the jazz (20" bass) version for $550. I checked out both at a local store and they seemed of very similar quality. I'm leaning towards the mapex b/c of the wood snare. Any other opinions? Thanks!!

Members IL Duce Posted November 24, 2002 Members Share Posted November 24, 2002 I have a mapex pro-m kit and I love it. I can't say enough good things about it. I've said it before and I'll say it again I don't think you can get a better value for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imissthewar Posted November 25, 2002 Members Share Posted November 25, 2002 It's almost a toss up, I have played both kits and liked each, but the Yamaha hardware is hard to match, IMO. I'd go for the Stage Custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeD Posted November 25, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2002 Thanks for the replies! So you think the superior hardware of the yamaha kit outweighs the wood snare of the mapex kit? As I'm still a newb at drums, both kits sounded very similar to me - but I think the mapex snare sounded a bit "warmer". Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
