well im thinking of buying a new set, but im stuck between a pearl export 8 piece or a mapex 8 piece.
the mapex is $100 more but instead of a 14 and 16 inch floor toms it comes with 16 and 18
im not really sure which one i want.
i really like both brands but i cant decide.
ohh well ive got sometime im not gonna have the money for a while

the export will have good support in terms of hardware.... but be samey. what's the mapex kit? Q, V, Pro M? If it's a Q, I'd go either way, if it's a V series or up, go the Mapex. some of the boomiest toms around with unreal overtones, and snares go 'crack'!

I'd suggest getting a higher end kit (Mapex/ Sonor.  ) with less drums. |

what wood in the mapex ? ? ?
I see no reason to not mapex if it is birch or maple. Their hardware have improved the last years.

if you get an export though, you'll have the same damn kit as everyone else.
