      Is there much difference between the jungle and the micro? I can hear the difference mic'd, but is there much difference acoustic? I bought the micro, but am returning it, because it feels and sounds too small to me. I liked all the all pieces, so figured I would just go up to the jungle., but if there is not much difference, maybe I need something 18".

    I just ordered the AQX Jungle kit from Sweetwater, partially because of Nick's videos and partly because of all the time Ryan (Sweetwater advisor) spent on the phone with me. I compared the kits from Ludwig, Tama, PDP, and SONOR. Dollar for dollar, I think this is best of the four. Excellent sound, quality, and value. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Thanks, Nick and Ryan.

      @@ThruAWiderLens I have the Sonor Bop SE kit too in 'ruby red sparkle' finish. Great value for the money I see for the AQX Jazz kit they shortened the bass drum depth to 14" which is more manageable size both in footprint and sound. I found the bass drum in the Bop SE kit to be a bit 'boomy' in certain situations. I remedied that by cutting a small port in the reso head and putting a small towel up against the inside of the batter head now it's perfect.
