MBX Anniversary 50th Set

[MG]

Hello,

I have an MBX 50th anniversary set in black mist from 1996. Out of curiousity, does somebody here happen to know to how many sets this one was limited back then?

[Gene Okamoto]

We didn't sell 50th Anniversary drum sets in the US, only snare drums.

I've asked our headquarters for the information you seek.

[MG]

Thank you for the trouble Gene. I'm in Europe and bought the set over here, of course.

Hey,
I'am thinking about buying an 5-piece (without snare) MBX 50th Anniversary in Holland (The Netherlands) for about 1650 euro (that's now $1500 ). It's in good shape, but I don't know nothing about the hwole drumserie. Can anyone give me the information that I need to know?

MBX is the 4-ply birch series with birch re-rings, isn't it? How do they sound? I've always wondered how they compared to the MMX (4-ply, 5mm maple) series.

this drum kit sounds wicked live and especially recorded in the studio. just an awesome drum kit. Always a tight fat sound.

Way to rub it in that we didn't get that one here in the USA. ;)

Hi guys/Gals,

i am adding to the list of the drums kits mentioned here, I have a 50th anniversary Masters Kit in Wine Red from 1996. I agree this kits does always sound awesome providing some tuning time is given.

I bought mine at Steve's Music in Ottawa in December of 1996

Here is my Dutch MBX Anniversary, don't know what colour it is but you see its blue-green. Don't mention the guy behind the kit, its our guitarist.

Nice to have more drummers with this collectors item!
