Armory Studioease Set II DW : Great sounding, great finish...

There are many kits with similar elements and features. But here, you get Armory snare, and my God, does it sound good!

What I like on this kit:

- snare (decision breaker for me)

- "virgin" bass drum

- mounting system

- soniclear bearing edges (seem to do the job)

cons:

- tom positioning is somwhat hard in the begining, the clamp is really long. It only takes some time, and you're good to go!

Conclusion:

Snare is top notch IMO. Everything on it seems like top quality. The story about bearing edges on this one is that you should be able to tune the drum to lower pitch and get nice sounding drum. It seems to be the case from what I've experienced so far. I tuned my toms reeaaally low, and it does sound good. No overtones, nice resonance, nice low end on floors... totally impressed!
