Mapex's birch offering comes with a surprisingly excellent kick drum and tom set ups but you may choose to replace the snare

    As michael56 says, a wicked all round kit.
    As for the negative points on the snare in the article: get one of Mapex's Back Panthers! Best drumI ve ever heard and so versatile.
    Mapex rock! (or jazz, or funk, or metal...)

    I agree with michael56 - this kit does rock!
    I brought mine from a friend who was moving to Australia and didn't have the space for it. I think he changed the heads but they sound great. I'm a beginner and this kit has really helped my confidence - highly recommended!

    I have used an M Birch rock kit for the last two years for both gigging and recording. Ireplaced the hoops on the snare drum with die-cast hoops and upgraded the snare wires.I then replaced the supplied Remo heads with Powerstroke 3's on the toms, a Coated Ambassador on the snare and a Remo Powersonic head on the kick drum with a Falam Slam patch in the centre. This kit really rocks! Coupled with Sabian AAX cymbals I rate this kit higher than any I have owned in the past including Ludwig 60's kit, Premier 70's kit etc. I would recommend this kit to anyone on a budget who is looking for an all round kit that looks and sounds amazing for not much outlay.
