    A guy at the local drum shop, that I trust, just raves about them. Says they sound amazing compared to almost anything else. Likes them better than Renown's for example.

    You are looking to buy piece by piece? That's always much more expensive than buying a kit.

    They're not discontinuing the Saturn line. You're not going to find component drums on websites like MF. Not even the guys that specialize in Mapex list component drums on their sites. Go to a Mapex dealer near you or call one if you don't have any nearby. If you don't know of a good one to call, send me a pm and I'll give you a few names.

    West Coast Music has them. Most places say to call about individual Saturn drums, because they don't usually stock them.

    BTW, MF does have them listed. Looking at toms, floor toms, bass drums, and snares right now.

    Why are you looking for components? You'll pay a lot less finding a set on sale. MF has a Saturn Crossover kit on sale (only 2 finishes) for $1200. It's a 5 piece kit, 1 up, 2 down. A bass drum alone is usually about $1000 if you buy it separately. If you can live with one of the color options, it's a killer deal.

    In my experience, very few dealers stock individual drums. Call you your local 'Pex dealer but be prepared to wait up to 16 weeks for the drum. It may need to be specially ordered from the far east if they do not have one in the distributors warehouse!

    Russ your kit looks awesome. But why is there that one lonely tom with a clear head while the rest have coated??

    my kit is the one that fades black to red. the red sparkle kit is the saturn that i wanna order a tom out of to complete my lineup. but thanks all the same. the reason that kit has one clear head is cause its a stock head i havent been able to replace yet, but i will soon. id say the biggest latest improvement is the cs' as resonant heads.
