I recently bought a new Mapex Armory set to accompany my drum build which is going to take a while still. I have read and checked out all the armory snares program, but I don't like any. They all sound like two pieces of drumheads together and have no body, sounds choked. I have also checked out covers and performance spotlights with the stock heads being replaced, raw, mixed and in person.
I was thinking of two options:
- Either scrap the shell and replace it for a different shell, keep the hardware and maybe change the triple flange for die cast or stronger ones.
- Sell it and buy a used Ludwig Acrolite (love it.) I'm also good with restoring so that's a fun project.
My issue here is... who has sold their Armory snare? did it sell? I tried to swap it or sell it to some local drum big bazar/second hand shops but they all refused it saying it won't sell. I even offered it boxed and mint condition (!
PS: PLEASE read carefully, it’s not about heads and tuning !
