    Couldn't believe what I was hearing 👂.
    These drums blow away any and 'everything' I've ever played with the exception of Slingerland Radio Kings vintage remake,, and the Sonor Scandinavian Birch.
    Seriously folks. I know quality drums at a jaw dropping affordable price point. Cheers Sweetwater and Mapex.

      Really no one needs a star classic when these and other drums like the Tama Superstar classic sound just as good besides the sound of a drum will always be the heads tuning and baring edges so you don’t “higher end “ for it to sound great and you will never have to upgrade and spend that exact same money that you were going to spend on “high end” and put it elsewhere

    Hey Sweetwater, can you help understand what is the difference between these Armory kits and the Saturn kits. Same bearing edges, hardware etc, so is it just the maple/birch vs maple/walnut that is the difference?
    That would make these kits too good to be true at the price point right?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Pƙed 3 lety +2

      Hello, Michael! This is a great question. And the answer, to some degree, is subjective. Purely from a construction/price standpoint, the flagship Saturn kits will have an arguably better overall fit and finish and attention to detail. That said, the primary differences between the two are in the tonewoods. Walnut, in the case of the Saturn kits, adds a certain level of definition and evenness of tone across the frequency spectrum. Being a denser wood than birch, walnut offers a more defined mid range. Birch tends to offer more of a scooped tone with good low end punch and defined high end. Long story short, if you want warmth, I'd go Saturn. If you want a more cutting tone, go Armory.
