Love this kit with the 8" tom. I just ordered this kit in the ocean sunset.
Love how you smile all the way through playing. No better feeling.
MAN AND THAT SOLO AT THE END!! I love your drumming style. I remember years ago going to a clinic you had at your pops church. I like that you have groove with your chops also
I have the exact kit. Bought it at Sweetwater last year, after watching Nick D. sample 100s of kits on video. This sounded the best. I'm going to be 60 this August, and started playing pretty last year because my wife is sick, and I needed something for my sanity. I live in Garbage Grove, Ca. And wish I could find a good teacher to give me some advice on my set up and techniques. Loved your playing style. God bless. Greg B.

I was gonna lay down 7 grand for a high end Gretsch, DW or Sonor but then I watched this vid and bought two Armory kits one in Ultramarine and the other in Night Sky Burst. They sound awesome for the price and saved me a ton of money and I would use them recording or live either one. Thank you so much Yaahn Hunter!

@johntheyank88 I just got the night sky burst on order now. I'm sweating waiting for it. I hope it's all everyone says it is. What heads are you using. The demos iv seen sound great with the stock heads. I think I want coated on the Tom's. Not sure if I should do double or single ply yet. I have an all birch kit and it's awesome with single ply clear, but I want to do something different with this new kit. I do have the studeoease fast tom set with 3 up 2 down...I got the 8" with mine too. Not sure if I'd want a double ply on my 8. I don't play hard at all.. but I want warmth the most with the punch too
I literally bought this set today, mainly because of your review! Set sounds amazing.

Guy, I have this kit. I bought it with my Trumpbucks earlier this year. It must be the mics and the mix, because my kit sound nothing like this in my room. The kick is very much the same but your toms are absolutely ALIVE compared to mine. Same heads and everythings. IDK. Being about thirty times better a player than I am probably helps.

Love the snare sound,but not a fan of that size bass drum depth, 22 by 14 is what I go for, hit it and boom..the sound just gets out of the way, punchy. That's what you need.Also real easy to move through doorways and into the car, up or down stairs without damage, win win haha!

I have the same kit but different color and they sound as good as $5000 dollar drums. With the proper tuning and heads you really can't discern the difference. You really don't need to spend a whole lot of money on a kit now a days because the technology has come so far that it's not necessary to spend a fortune on a kit. That's how I feel anyway. 👍
