Hello.
Thinking about getting my son a new drum kit, but I am thorn between Mapex Armory and Tama Hyperdrive.
I do have a Saturn IV Exotic, and I love it, though I have no experiance with the Armory kit and Hyperdrive.
Any pros/cons against these sets?
I don't have much knowledge of these but by looking at the specs on the kits they're both very attractive for the $900-1000 price tags. I wish I had these choices when I got my first drum kit.
I'd personally go with the Mapex Armory kit, Maple/Birch over straight Birch construction. It should provide a more versatile sound as I find that Birch just doesn't have enough sustain.
