Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am just getting back into it after a nearly 10 year hiatus and I am finding out that there is a lot more to consider now than their used to be (or maybe back then I was too young to care).
Anyway, I have always played Mapex, and have developed a bit of brand loyalty. However, I recently got hold of a Sonor Arena kit really cheap. I really like the sizes of the drums and the kit sounds great. BUT all of my hardware is Mapex and like I said, I've always been partial to Mapex, so.....
I just discovered that the Meridian Maple comes in a 24" kick configuration, and was wondering if it would be worth my while to get one of those. I guess what I am asking is: which of these two kits would you all say is the better bet? Both are 100% maple. The only difference is the size of the rack tom (arena 13 vs. meridian 12). Any opinions??? I appreciate anyone willing to help me out. Thanks!!!
