General Comments

Mapex Orion Classic Drum Kits have a powerful sound, especially from the bass drum. they are sturdy but easy to move the drums to the way you like at the same time. In my opinion, the Mapex Orion Classic is the most beautiful drum kit I have ever seen. Before I owned this kit, I was used to cheaper kits but now I will never turn back. I walked into my nearest drum shop looking for a DW or Pearl Masters, but as soon as I saw the Mapex kit, I fell in love with it. It is in coffee burst and has 2 floor toms but no snare. This didn't matter as I had previously bought a nice Pearl Masters snare. The looks are absolutely stunning, the sound is so powerful and the hardware really made me feel safe and comfortable with my kit. I have played DW kits,Pearl kits, Sona and Tama kits and the cheapest of the lot, the Mapex really blow the others away. I think I may stick with Mapex Orion for the rest of my life.
