    Love this dude!! Ive been thinking about getting this set- your video really helps with the decision!
    The way you play those toms were superfluously and beautifully informative; you made them sing and i love that!

    Excellent demo, from one Mapex guy to another. I’ve had the same setup (minus the “fast” tom depths) for a couple years now, after owning a Mapex M-Birch and then a Mapex Pro-M, and continue to be thoroughly impressed the most with the Amory series. The sound is rich, but punchy and crisp. Switched out to an Exterminator snare and that thing cracks like a whip! Mapex all the way!

    I have this kit in the same colour. Wonderful, exactly the way I want a kit to sound. I wanted to "upgrade" the snare, went through three Black Panthers (Cyrus, Razor and Versatus), got rid of all of them and ended up keeping the Tomahawk, it's a killer snare. Didn't need any upgrading.

    Awesome display of tone, tuning, head choice and shell sizes. Very informative. I love the sound of these shells. I am most certain to get this exact set up with the redwood finish. I would use the Remo Ebony Emperor heads for my toms.

    You have the fast Tom sizing right? Is the add on Tom (8x7) deeper than the included high Tom (7x10)? Does it make it look weird or sound strange? I actually want to get the non fast Tom setup of this set but it doesn't come in the ultramarine gloss so it would make the add on Tom look extra weird. I'm just a little confused why they only offer ultramarine gloss in fast Tom while also only offering the add on Tom in that same color. Just seems so strange to have a higher Tom with more depth. It sounds great in this application so I guess I'm really just trying to convince myself it will work well together and won't be weird lol.

      Hey man!! The Mapex Armory kit is actually very light. Made it very easy to mount. The clamps are well weighted as well to keep them sturdy. I’m no longer rocking this kit though.. I’m rocking the Sonor AQ2 now. The toms are mounted in the kick drum as well

  • @johncollins5552
    @johncollins5552 3 роки тому

    I love the armour kit sound, quality and look the only downside is the bass drums are too deep at 18. 14 deep is the ideal as it's punchier, less flabby, takes up less real estate, real easy to move from rehearsal out the door, into the car and upstairs into venues and back again!
    I play a M pro 6 piece myself for 10 years and cut my bass drum myself with a fine blade hand saw! It's 22 by 14 now haha!

      Bass Drum(s): 22 x 18 in.
      Tom(s): 10 x 8, 12 x 9 in.
      Floor Tom(s): 14 x 14, 16 x 16 in.
