Which drumset is the better buy?
Now, I am a beginner and I'm fairly confident I am going to stick with the hobby of drumming. I was just curious as to which is the better buy for me, and which set will last me longer without need of upgrade.
The Mapex M Birch

Really, It comes down to the wood (and I guess the free 12" china that comes with the Tama...)
Is Birch really worth the extra 50 dollars of shipping to get? and is Mapex a superior brand to Tama?
you are correct, its basically a matter of picking a wood, which really comes down to personal preference. mapex and tama both make excellent quality drums. the imperialstar is actually one of tama lower models, intended for use by beginners. the mapex birch is intended for intermediate skill level.
I i were you, id go with the mapex, only cause i really love the sound of birch and really loathe the sound of poplar. and this coming from a huge supporter of tama. ive always liked mapex. never owned one, but their birch sets sound pretty nice. mapex is not "superior" to tama. if you were considering higher-line kits, i would suggest a tama starclassic (which is what i play on).
oh, and yes, birch is def worth the extra 50 bucks shipping. check out www.midwestpercussion.com before you make a choice. best drummer store there is!
