those are such small cymbals. what size is that ride!?

[ironcobra8]

@BobbyLikesDrums The cymbals look smaller because i recorded this in standard definition. On a regular tv screen they look normal but when I uploaded to YouTube it converted the video to fit the widescreen HD format. The ride is a 20".

DRUMMERS! I have a decision that I need help with. I have a choice between Sonor Force 3007's and Mapex Pro M's. Both are maple, the mapex costs a couple hundred more AND the Sonor comes with hardware. Which would be the better (and longer lasting) choice? Please respond, I really need help choosing.

[ironcobra8]

@dragonman0000001 Not sure if you know this, but Sonor's Force drums are built in the same factory as Mapex (known as KHS). They use a lot of the same manufacturing processes and tools, but yield more or less the same sound. (When comparing the 3007 to a Pro M). I'd say go for the Sonor, since some people argue the quality is a bit better, it comes with hardware, and it's cheaper.

you suck, horribly.

spend all your time on singles hand/feet alternations, can't roll, dirty as fuck, can't tune for shit.

[ironcobra8]

this video wasn't made to display my playing, it is a demo of how the Pro M sounds. I admit they sound nasty here, but I was using stock heads and a shitty camera microphone. Chill out bro... why don't you post a video if you can do better?

Wife put you in the garage? Lol.

I have the Mapex pro M classic plus and I love it! Big fat rock sound! Maple shells sing! and the 22 kick is got some super bottom end.
