You should post the model of Mapex kit this is. Mapax kits start at £300 but this is not one of those kits.
 
Possibly an older Saturn. Decent kit would have been in the 500-600 zone, plus the cymbals, throne and mutes.
Good value there.
A lot of good memories flooding back, even though I played Premier.

This is a good point...TBH I do not know the exact model.

They were brought for my Daughter about 10-12 years ago form the Percussion place in London (nr Chalk Farm)...they were about £500+ then.

Pretty sure they are a way above a 'starter' kit...they have been stored since she used them for about a year or so.

Seems reasonable value I think.

Thanks they do seem a good set of Drums and it seems shame to have them languishing in the garage
 
I was talking to a mate who worked a musical instrument shop in the 90s/2000s.
He said I had the right price point but wrong series name. He reckoned your kit is the "Mars", Saturn was apparently semi-pro.
Competed with the Pearl Export, Premier APK etc.

Remember all these kits can be made to sound brilliant with the simple addition of better heads.
 
Mapex make good kits. In fact, better than many custom-shop kits - I replaced a custom-shop kit (in beautiful santos rosewood finish) with a Mapex Orion, and it's a better sounding kit, easier to tune and with a definite warmth to the sound that the (more expensive) kit lacked. I've nothing but respect for Mapex. Which reminds me, my Orion is lazily gathering dust atop the wardrobe.... #oughttogetinabandagain

Thanks for the info...they seem pretty good to this non-drummer
 
Used to have a midrange mapex kit myself. They are excellent value for money and I’d recommend this to anyone wanting to get away from the starter kits that represent terrible value.

Makes me want to dust down mine. I just love drums and cymbals. I feel a bit sad that mine don't get the use they deserve, but I'd never part with the cymbals (all hand-selected 80s/90s Zildjian Ks excluding an Armand 19" ride).... drumdrumdrum :D
 
I’d be onto it if closer, maybe FB Marketplace might serve you better for local interest, if not gone already.
