Mapex horizin fastback set

[sostoobad]

Here are my thoughts on this little play ou kit from mapex, I just picked one up the other day and have been playing it.....like non stop.

it is made of birch/basswood and is black in color, what you get... 8x6,10x7,12x12, 12x20 kick, also comes with hardware, hi hat stand, center cymbal mount, kick pedal, and 13x5 snare with snare stand...and a boom cymbal stand....all for 539.00....so how does it play and sound?

I have got to tell you, I am blown away, I was expecting well, not too much, it plays great, sounds bigger and fuller than it has a right to,just add cymbals.

I currently own ten, yes ten drum sets, and have owned alot more, including,many vintage kits, i like all my drums, but these just kill me, mostly because of the sound for dollar.

This is my first mapex kit, and if they can do that at this price, I can just imagine that their bigger and higher end gear must be quite good, anyway, to me a no brainer here. WoW

Welcome to Drum Chat sostoobad!

The lessons that I take are currently on a new Mapex Horizon kit, and for a more entry level kit, it really isn't too bad.

Hi,sorry no pics, just a nifty set, great for playing out and for the short money that they are, to me a no brainer, thanks.

Sounds hot! I'm a Mapex fan. Wish that kit was my first kit back in the day instead of CB700!
