Anyone know a good place to find older Mapex tom mounts? Just picked up a kit to flip and the mounts are stripped out

Has anyone seen the new Tom mounts they had at Namm? Looks like a tank couldn’t stop them..

Saw pics. Can't really tell how they work. Mentioned something about magnets. They did look quite sturdy.

And quite stupid! IMO. A dumb overpriced resonance lengthening gimmick that the average Joe blow wouldn't notice anyhow.

Too many choices for adjustments in my opinion. The CNC looks high-tech. One word comes to mind when I see tom mounts like this one and the one that comes with the Sonor SQ2 kit...overkill.

Yeah But Sonor SQ2 Birch and the Sonor Designer kits are the 2 best drums sets I have ever heard hands down, and I have just about heard them all.

I totally agree MDK. I'm talking about the mount...

After watching that video, I completely agree with drummerMD. Over-engineered overkill.

[noreastbob]

I see them in the pic and can't see how they work

[FlyByNight]

I’m fine with my L rods

I know, could be related to the mounts though?

Good point! I think the mounts on the Saturn V kits looks more functional and more elegant. It looks almost like the Gretsch RN2 mount but only attaches to the bottom part of the lug.
