stunning finishes, sounds fantastic, highly tunable (sounds great tuned up or down).
Great value for money. Top end features like isolated tom, suspension in the floor tom stands and an undrilled bass drum don't normally come cheap.
Only negative thing I can really think of is that the floor tom mounts are quite wide so wouldn't fit in my old cases. The mapex ones fit a treat though and were really affordable too so I forked out on some of those

Ok Here's the real deal on Mapex Saturn drums. I have played many top end kits in 30 years DW, Yahmaha RS . Not that I;m saying these drums are in the same level & tone, I will say these drums are by far the best deal & value for a kit you can find in Pro level drums, They by far blow many top brands flat away for what you get in sound that you would pay 2 x more for,. Made of Maple/Walnut the Toms produce a rich deep tone and cut & project like a MF. The Bass 22 inch has a low end deep punch. The finish is more than you would ever expect at that price point. The Mapex website does not at all do the overall finishes justice. The hardware is proven road worthy & is rock solid, The Bottom line is, Do yourself a favor & pay a fair price for a top end kit that is True pure value for the buck!
