Buying a Birch kit.
Hey Y'all. I'm considering upgrading my drums but don't have a lot of cash. I've been intrigued by the idea of a birch kit for a while now and I'm looking very closely at the Mapex M birch and the Sonor 2005.
Pros and Cons.
Sonor, better hardware, finishes. Not much choice in drum sizes.
Mapex, free 10" thrown in, slightly cheeper good range of sizes for upgrades. Heavy laquer finish, which I don't want for ease of damage, I prefer wax finishes and I'm not inspired by the colours.
I'm going to check them out thoroughly soon, but I'd like to know if any of you have experience with these kits, other birch kits, or just have any suggestions for my situation.
