Well, I don’t actually have tons of experience with maple drums. But what I can say is that I really like the tones I get from these drums. Nice bottom end and warm sound.

This was my last setup. I have a Hendrix Drums walnut perfect ply kit with a walnut stave snare. I like the Istanbul cymbals because they are thin and dark, and yet stiff enough to open up pretty easily when not playing with drum sticks (90% of the time). I've been going for a warm and dark sound as I play only in smaller places. This is right next to an acoustic piano...
