Need drum bits

**Noobi** · 07-15-2010, 03:38 AM

Okay, so I just got a drumkit for £20, it's a venus Mapex from 2007 I think. Great buy apart from it's missing a few things. It's missing a ball holder, the things that you mount the toms on. And it's missing the top half of the hi hat.

Does anyone know where I can get these bits from? I've look all over the place but can't find anything decent. I'm not a drummer, I'm a guitarist so I don't know much about drums

Thanks.

Ebay. Trust me.

Oh, and welcome to the forums as well.

You can probably order the tom holder directly from Mapex. As for the hi hats, just take your bottom hat to a music store like GC and try it out with a bunch of different top hats. Usually they will let you buy individual top/bottom hats if you find a pairing you like.

Thanks guy's

It's a very nice forum too

I looked on Ebay and couldn't find what i was looking for :/

I contacted Mapex and got nothing back from them about the ball holder thingy :( And I can't find any of these on ebay... maybe I'm better of just getting a new stand for the tom?

Sorry I don't think I explained it very well XD My bad, but it's missing one of the tubes. Told you I knew nothing about drums. Thanks for the help guys

Gibraltar makes ball shaped l rods that you can put into a vacant tom holder. Or, you can get the whole tom holder from them, they make the same model mapex uses but sell it for a bit less. In comparing the two, I noticed the same arm from gibraltar was 20 dollars less than the one from mapex.

Can you tell them apart? I can't, and my little green friend Andrew Jackson can't either. Just make sure you know which shape(round, or hex) the grooves are inside of your tom mounts, before ordering.
