Please forgive me for being a little superficial, but for a long time, I refused to pay any attention to Ford Drums because...well, I thought they looked too hipster. But then I read an old issue of Drum! Magazine the other day, and it was giving great reviews on the Smart Ass Thrones and the Drumvee cases.
I might buy a new throne, snare drum case, and cymbal case in a few weeks. Aside from Roc n Soc (which is kind of my base line standard for drum thrones) and Ahead Armor cases (my standard for cases), I've been wondering if I should try the Smart Ass and Drumvees out. For one thing, the padding on the SA looks really nice for a heavy guy like me. And I like my brother's Ahead Armor cases, but since I'm looking to get one for me, at the very least, the Drumvees have padded straps and the Aheads don't.
I also don't know much about their pricing. My local dealer doesn't carry Ford stuff. What do you guys think?
