Mapex Tornado Junior Kit Dark Red

Tornado is a good nickname for this drum kit.
I've bought this unit two years ago (July 2020) and it has been a good partner in various sorts of venues.

The bass and toms are cool and well mounted. The floor tom has a bad habit of trying to escape if you hit it hard but I manage to solve that with some help from a cymbal stand.
The snare is nice. I manage to get it to sound very good after a while but it's not the sound I'm use to from other drums and I plan to replace it sometime in the (not so close) future. It works very well and the wires look very decent. The stand for the snare is weird but it works.

The hit-hats are... mediocre. The stand is enough but the cymbals look and sound plastic like. They've been doing the job, and if you don't need or care for better they will work just fine. I use them for 2y and only now I'm starting to feel I need better. I'm to replace them soon.
The 16'' crash is laughable. It's bad. Sounds plastic and looks plastic and bends like plastic. I guess for a beginner it may be okay but if you want to play for real you wan't to replace it asap. I bought a 14'' crash when I order the drums and that was probably the best idea I ever had. I don't use that 16'' "crash"anymore since I got a 16'' proper crash and an 18'' crash/ride. I plan to polish it and hang it on the wall of the practice room.

Nevertheless, the drums pay themselves without the 16'' crash so for the price is a good value. Also, it's easy to set up and small enough to fit everywhere. It can also be played quiet enough for a practice room and small venues or more loudly for some medium size concerts. I'm happy with my purchase. I like the brand and was positively surprised with a lot of elements on this kit.
