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

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?
