The Academy's drums at Walnut,CA. 6/28/08.
For those who have yet to see Mapex drums up close. Sorry I wasn't able to catch any video of them actually playing them. Oh- and BTW- they sounded way better than anyone else's Dynasty's.

  • My visual instructor for winter drum line it one of there cymbal players.

  • I remember at the Toledo show in 08, i was watching Academy's drumline walk to their warm up area, and a bass drum fell off the harness as they were walking

  • Mapex drums r sooo heavyyyyyy. great carriers tho lol except for the basses

  • im glad the snares got new heads from when the vic firths videos were taken, they were shit! the new ones are awesum

  • a gree to a limit dynastys......................­.......... suck. they need to be messed with alot to get a good sound out of them....... the mapex sounds pretty damn close to pearl..... there freakn loud

  • Corps

  • Yeah man, DW's right here in my town, and even their PDP models are class. I own a set myself, and they sound great. It would be interesting if they prototyped some marching drums. Maybe not great, but interesting.

  • they do sound better than some cores dynasty's...

  • you have a good point.

    ikd. maybe i just dont like DW, I'm a Tama kinda guy drum set wise. But eh...i just think DW marching drums would be...different? and i think Ludwig should stop making marching drums too....

  • You need to understand where DW came from... They are built up on reputation of consistent quality... In this case you actually get what you pay for.

    I agree that the other brands are just fine. I own a custom Yamaha SFZ with MTS myself.

    There is always room for more brands...

    I mean who would of thought that MAPEX would get in to making marching percussion?
