History
I already wanted to buy myself a drum kit since last year when I started learning drums and was constantly improving. However, at the beginning of this year I decided not to because I was afraid affecting my neighbours. After sometime in April or May, I got back the idea of buy my drum set and started saving up. Ever since when I wanted to buy a drum set, I had kept going online to drum shop websites to check prices and make decision. I have blogged quite a number of my decisions here, in this blog, and if you search for drums within my blog, you will find past entries on my decisions about drum sets. I even talked about how I was introduced to drums. I have been making and changing decisions about drums until I went over to Drum Resources for the first time. It was then my decision changed onto Mapex being superb sounding drums. Now that Drum Resources is clearing stock, I'm able to afford Mapex QR at a price of $960. This drum set was ordered on the evening of 24 October 2008 and delivered at 12PM on 25 October 2008.
