ludwig drum accent Good Second Drum Kit - Mapex M Birch or Ludwig Accent CS Custom Elite
I was wondering what people think I should get for my second drum kit. Hopefully I will find a shop where I can try both out but until then I Want to know what more experienced drummers think of each kit. The first kit is a Mapex M Birch in Transparent Cherry Red. This comes with a free tom which is a slight incentive. The second is a Ludwig Accent CS Custom Elite in Tobacco Fade. This one only comes with 5 drums so one less than the Mapex.
Looks-wise I love the Tobacco Fade and I haven't read a single bad review about it so I am most swayed towards that at the moment.
Please comment on this
Thanks
Just my personal opinion, but I like Mapex drums better than Ludwig drums. In terms of sound and durability, Ludwig hasn't really made decent drums for about 20 years when compared to brands like Tama, Pearl, Mapex, and Gretsch. Ludwig hardware also leaves a lot to be desired...
