Vex Drums


I Just Got A Set Of Vex Drums From E Bay. ($450) I Must Say That You Get More For Your Money With This Brand Than Any Other. Included Was A Very Good Throne,hi Hat With Cymbals,cymbal Stand With 18 Inch Cymbal,an Excellent Bass Pedal And 5 Sets Of Sticks (5b) I Couldn't Believe How Good The Vex Cymbals Sounded. They Won't Replace My Zildians But They Came With The Set. I Replaced The Upper Heads With Remo Pin Stripes And The Toms Sound Great. I Did The Same With The Bass Drum And Found That I Don't Need A Pillow Or Muffler At All. I Left The Snare Alone.it's 6 Inches Deep And Sounds Good. The Finish On These Drums Is Beautiful. The Good News Is That This Is A Nice Set. The Bad News ....? I Was Lead To Believe That This Company Was In Florida But When I Was Throwing Away The Cartons I Found Chinese Writing On The Bottom Of The Boxes. I Should Have Known ! And The Chrome Is Paper Thin On The Rims And Tom Holders. Some Actually Flaked Off During Assembly. Vex Threw In A Lot Of Extras With This Set But Bottom Line Is : You Get What You Pay For. I Couldn't Afford More Then $500 Dollars So This Is What I Have. I Can't Compare Them To Other Brands In The Same Price Range Since I've Never Tried Any Other Brand But My Original Slingerlands.

Re: Vex Drums


My Brother Just Bought A Middle Priced Mapex Set. Except For The Claws That Hold The Bass Drum Hoops On, The Hardware Is Identicle To My Vex Set !the Double Tom Holder, Cymbal Stands, Floor Tom Legs And All The Rims Are The Same. Either Mapex And Vex Use The Same Parts Supplier For Their Hardware,or Vex And Mapex Are The Same Company.

Re: Vex Drums


For some reason their page wouldn't open for me, but I gather you have perchased the canadian maple kit. Seems like good quality timber they're using so proving they know how to work it, you could have yourself a good set of shells there. If the hardware is a load of crap, you could always check out Gibralters range of replacement parts. They sell just about everything except the shells.
