On the on the actual snare side you've got the code generic, I think it is, it's a 14 by 3

Mapex Mars Driftwood

Right now, I have a 3-piece setup I’m using that is Tama Imperialstar. I’ve had these shells since 2019, and got a great deal on them. I use a 6.5x14 DW Black Nickel snare. My only cymbals I really use right now are 14” new beats, 17” a medium thin crash, and a 21” k sweet ride. I use Evans G2s on the toms, EMAD batter and reso on kick, and a genera dry on the snare. 

I gig pretty regularly, but I feel super insecure about my kit. I don’t have a lot of money to spend at the moment but would love a second crash to complement my crash, and possibly better shells. I feel like it’s cheap and doesn’t sound good. When I see some of the kits on here and around the internet, I feel like mine is bad. Am I crazy?

Feeling insecure about my kit

I hadn't played for about 10 years, and decided to start again. Great shell pack, I can't tell you what factory heads sound like, as I put proper heads on first thing, and I love em. Awesome tone for the money.

Great shell pack. No complaints.

 The bass drum in particular really is quite thunderous. I love the fact that although these are Remo's UT heads, there's a lot of response there. A very, very clear tone and clean tone which makes for musical playing. You can, thanks to the Sonic Clear heads, you can tune the pitch to exactly where you want it, where it's going to work with the particular piece of music that you're playing or the style of music that you're playing

 This is the Mars Kit and this has been iDrum Magazine. We'll see you next time. Thank you.

 Let's hear it. Right, as we hoped from Mapex, everything that we've had over the past few issues has been of such a high standard and the Mars kit is absolutely no exception. Really enjoyed the way this kit plays. It's very adaptable to the configuration, to the positioning

 The black plated chrome hardware on the HP 6005 pack goes really well obviously. Really fits in with the theme and it's all stable, double-braced and rugged and will get you from A to B without any problems whatsoever. Fantastic. Thank you very much Mapex

Mapex Mars Kit Review | iDrum Magazine #30

 But it's important to recognize that while even entry level kits can be made to sound good with good heads and tuning (e.g., Pearl Export, Mapex Mars, etc.

I am relatively a beginner to drumming, however I'm not starting from scratch. I've already been playing drums for about a year, but not on my own drum kit. Now that I'm finally buying my own place after renting for years, i can soundproof my studio and finally get some drums for myself. 

**I don't want to buy the kit with the intention of buying a new one very soon. I also don't want to buy a drum kit that's over 950 USD. And i need a kit that's good for recording, not just practicing.** Is there a drum kit that fits all or most of these criteria?

What should my first official drum kit be?

 Drums are super clear and crisp and furthermore they're really small and I still enjoy them because they still are big sound-wise so I'm always impressed by the Mars drums from day one when I first heard them a while back. I think that the new colors are super dope. I think they actually compliment the drums even more so because these drums have a really natural vibe to me. They're naturally loud

Mapex Mars 4pc Dragonwood Kit - Rashid Williams

Im in love with my new (30 years) drum kit, my 2nd after 9 years playing

 The Mars series features 100% birch shells for a little bit of natural EQ to the sound, and all are appointed with the famed Mapex Soniclear Bearing Edge for a quality contact between head and shell. These drums are simply a whole lot of fun to play. They're nice and loud, and I like to sit down to a Mars kit and play some of these repetitive sort of loping tom tom passages like this. So the birch shells in the Soniclear Bearing Edge really make these drums tonal and punchy and a whole lot of fun to play

So the birch shells in the Soniclear Bearing Edge really make these drums tonal and punchy and a whole lot of fun to play. In addition to being fun to playing and sounding great, they look great. Mars are offered in four different finishes, all vertically oriented wood grain wraps, driftwood, bonewood, dragonwood, and this is our black nightwood finish here on this particular kit, also appointed with the 600 series black plated hardware for a real stealthy look

I'm a new drummer without my own kit and would like to start playing some gigs.

I understand that usually, you can borrow the kick and snare from headline band but I might need my own breakables?

So would I just need to buy a high hat and crash, ride ?

Thanks
Lewis

What do I need to buy for first gigs?

I need hardware too and the cymbals don’t really matter, already have a good few. Budget &lt;£600. Have my eyes on a new Pearl export for £555 with all included, cymbals and hardware. Can anyone recommend anything else? Thanks.
