I've been waiting for bargains to pass by and I came across a second hand Mbirch and Sonor 3005. The mapex is only 6 weeks old but costs very slightly more, whilst the Sonor is presumably quite a bit older, but is advertised as in great condition.
I'd like to know how these drums compare. I've seen the Mapex and it was beautiful with its cherry red finish, but the Sonor looks good from the photos. Unfortunately I can only get the sonor by courier (cost of drum + courier is still less than mapex) rather than picking it up myself - is this a problem?
I'm really considering the sonor but one thing that worries me from the advertisement is this:
"In excellent condition apart from bass drum is missing a rubber little foot that stops the bass drum spurs from being so sharp, but these are easy to replace."
As a beginner I don't really know what the seller means by this. If any of you drummerworld people could help me out on this one I'd greatly appreciate it too.
edit: I reread the bass drum foot issue and I know what the seller is talking about. This wouldn't be much of a problem, would it?
