Is the M series better than the VX ? I,m thinking of a second kit and one of these has caught my eye.

As it's used, is it an M-birch, M-maple or a Pro-M?

Pro-M were effectively mid level kits but with the same basic maple shell as the Orion. (Without the flash veneers and better quality onboard hardware.) M-birch & M-maple use a shell, shall I say, very close to Sonor's Force series. (The shells are all made at the same Tianjinn plant, but on 'seperate' production lines)





It's just listed as M series I'm afraid.

The only issue for me with the M/Meridian Birch is the lug count on the floor toms.

I had an M-Birch. I used it for hundreds of gigs and a few recording sessions. It never let me down and sounded great. I replaced it with a Meridian Birch, which is the successor to the M-Birch.

1 of the best kits for the money imo, the birch version is for me the best mid range kit out there

There was also the Mars Pro range which was really rather good.

The M series was the preceeder to the present Meridian series. Normally they were called the M birch series they were manufactured from birch wood. They were a midrange kit and higher up from the VX series. Previous to the that there was a Mapex Mars kit which again was a level above the VX series kit.
