It really works nice with the mahogany drums, they have somewhat of the same issue I had with my cherry skin on skin, nice fat tones, but not a really clean slap, the maple drum works perfectly for that. Spent a lot of bread but it was well worth it! Now I can keep my sonocs at home for special purposes and use the matts and mopercs for gigs.

Tight. Can't wait to get them out on a gig, these are some nice drums, not too heacy either, I think the maple drums may be a bit lighter than teh ash.

Yeahhh boyyy! Observations on the percs, not a big fan of the ice cream cone tuck job, but the rim extends out quite a bit from the playing surface so I'm glad it's a bit lower than my other drums. The bearing edge of the drum itself is the most comfortable I've ever played, it's rounded just right, i mean your hand literally just sits there so nice. It really meshes well with the Matts for the macho sound so happy with my new drums, a bit of old, a bit of modern ad a bit of classic! It's all about da wood baby!
