so im looking to buy my first drumset, but am not sure what kind to buy i found this mapex m birch drumset for 800 dollars and than found a ddrum drumset the ddrum diablo punx set for 700 dollars i know the price affects its value but in your opinion which drumset brand is better and why? im going to be playing some blink 182 and some rise against songs so which would be best?
Most of the drum companies make good stuff and cheap stuff... within reason, you get what you pay for. I'm not overly familiar with either brand, but I would buy Mapex for myself before DDrum just because I've had some positive experience with their company and products. I would note that the advirtisements for DDrum have shown increasingly better-looking drums though.
I'd choose Mapex beacause the place I take drum lessons has 2 Mapex sets (one for the student and one for the teacher) and their sets sound and are built pretty good.
I own a set of Mapex and I love them..the heads on them are over a year old bc I dont have the money at the moment to buy new ones but I still can get a good sound out of them even with the old heads, however iv'e never played a DDrum set so idk if they are quality or not but you can't go wrong with Mapex in my opinion.
