Hello Drummers of Drummerworld Forum. I am new to the site and am needing opinions on these two kits. I know that I am going with mapex for my new kit however I cannot decide between the two and my local guitar center does not have either on the floor to test drive. I know the major differences between the two lines however I am having a hard time justifying the 200 dollar swing on the armory. What I am struggling with is the snare between the two kits, the armory snare trade in program, some of the hardware and such.
I am one of these drummers that doesn’t believe two much into the wood of the snare having that big of an effect on the sound. I know that different wood materials may offer slight differences in pitch but not that much and it’s all dependent on what heads you are using. Anyone out their have one of the kits and mind sharing their thoughts on one vs the other. Here are the current deals I have found on them.
