Mapex Meridian Birch Drum Set Review
Most gigging drummers demand versatility from their drum kit, especially when their schedule includes a diversity of styles and genres. Rocking the bar Friday night calls for one sound, while providing some light Jazz at Saturday’s wedding reception requires something quite different. The wood of choice for playing versatile styles is often Birch, due to its high attack, good mid-range tones, and lower punch when tuned accordingly. The Mapex Meridian Birch Series Drum Set won’t disappoint when it comes to sound quality or the kit’s ability to take a beating while being hauled from trailer to venue and back to the practice room. This flexible 5-piece set offers 6 plies of hardened Birch in each shell, mounted with the patented I.T.S. hardware that limits resonance-dampening contact, allowing for undiminished sound integrity and projection. Great Sound and Portability
Mapex has gone through the Mapex Meridian Maple Series Drum Set to provide lighter lugs and mounting equipment for added portability. Sleek design looks great and travels well, and features reduced set-up and tear-down times. In addition, the hardware pack is very nice, and includes a solid kick drum pedal with a tri-tonal beater. Efficiency is increased with the ability to change the heads on the tom while it is still mounted.
Conclusion
Great sound, outstanding versatility, and convenient hauling add value to a set that is already affordably priced at $769 to $839 for new sets. Six piece kits start at about $979.
