Anyone know the true difference between a decade maple and the old MRX masters custom extras?

I know the plys are thinner, but is it a different type of maple?

I think it's been said that the Decade Maple is an Asian maple. Now are MRX shells American hard maple? I don't know.

Again I'm just saying I THINK I RECALL. I could be wrong or the memory could of been from someone who didn't know either.

I'm no help at all, but I tried!

Thats what I was thinking. Hopefully Al or someone will chime in!

You're right. Decade uses Asian Maple and Masters uses North American hard rock maple

The difference between the two is simple .. Asian maple is less dense, has a lower janka scale, grows faster in warm climate of Asia and is cheaper

Oh .. and Masters has 8 lug floor toms unlike 6 on Decade .. haha

They do sound great. That wrap is awesome. That's the first time I've seen it under lights like that. I could easily live with that on my kit.

I'd drop sticks into that hi hat top so often if I ever tried something like that. That's nuts!
