maple or birch ?
I'm curious if anyone has one of the Mapex MyDentity Maple kits? If so how do you like it? How does it sound? how is the build quality?
I'm considering picking up one of these with a White Rock Pearl finish, chrome hardware. The price is right at $1099.00
26x16 kick
13x10 tom
16x16 fl tom
18x16 fl tom
14x6 snare
maple or birch ?
My buddy that I drum tech for just got his in. We're putting new heads and tuning it up tomorrow, actually. Mydentity birch black hardware with a silver sparkle to black fade - 10x8, 12x8, 14x12, 16x14, 22x18. It's a great looking kit, actually.
However, With the garbage typical Remo UK stock heads, the kit doesn't sound anything near as good as it should, but I'll make that thing sing tomorrow for sure.
The only two constants I have are DW and Zildjian.
Nechre, Which heads are you switching to?
SONOR 6 pc Special Edition 3007's red maple, old Pearl Brass 14x6 FF snare, Yamaha Tour Custom maple 8 pc., Tama 4 pc., honey amber B/B, Ludwig Supralite chrome 14x6.5 steel snare, Paiste, Saluda & Zildjianhttp://www.facebook.com/DerailedRockers/
Loaned out Slingerland upgraded 4 pc 1963 black, wrapped maple + 14" Pearl birch FT
Well, unfortunately my friend got tied up working on redoing his kitchen, so we didn't end up getting together today. I'll make sure to grab some pictures when we finally swap the drumheads and try to get some kind of sound recording.
Sling. We're going to put clear G2s over clear G1s on the toms and a superkick 2 (?) on the kick. He likes the superkick more than the Emad or Gmad.
The only two constants I have are DW and Zildjian.
stock heads on any drum kit are garbage. im sure that will sound find though once you get it all tuned up with new heads.
Too Much Stuff.
My '57 Gretsch Renowns came from the factory with coated G1 over a 'no name' blank clear reso for toms. The snare came with a coated G1 over 300 hazy and cheap snares. The kick came with an EMAD batter over a Gretsch stock coated reso. I'd give Gretsch a C+ grade for the factory set-up on the Renowns.
yeah I suppose kits that are like $1500+ come with real heads.
However, DW really needs to get a grip and ditch those garbage remo heads they ship with. They go bad after a week of playing, so thin.
Too Much Stuff.
So I know this is an old thread... but I was searching and found it.
Yesterday I built a kit and sent it to a local music store.
I built a super simple kit: 1 up and 2 down
BD: 20X20 Virgin Kick
SD: 13X6
RT: 12x7 (Will use snare basket)
FT: 14x14
FT: 16x14
I think matching depth floor toms will visually look pretty awesome.
Can't wait to see what kind of price tag they put on it. '
Wrap is Arizona Sunset Pearl

Nice I had one built but never ordered it...yet. I have always wanted Birch Toms and Maple snare and Bass drum. That sunset pearl is awesome.
