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..

[inthpktplayer]

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

[MDK]

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

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.

I want a marching snare in my collection

[CR-Drummer]

Hello Guys, hope I'm in the right chat, need some help related to my kit... I have a Mapex Horizon set and as I understand... there are 2-versions of that model, one is the Poplar/birch hybrid shell and the other is the basswood / birch hybrid shell and well I´m trying to find out which one I have.

I have uploaded some pictures of the internal shell badges as a possible clue of my question... sent also an email to mapex company but didn´t got any answer... pictures available in the following link:

So, you Mapex Gods (experts) any comments or evidences about how can I get the specific model of my set? Also If you consider that the info I have is wrong, please let me know, Would really like to learn everything about my set.

Appreciate your attention, greetings from Costa Rica, Central America.
