If you’re a fan of the sounds but you don’t want the shallow toms, Mapex also sells this kit in a 5-piece version that has standard tom depths. So, you’re completely covered when it comes to sound diversity. I found the bass drum having immaculate bottom-end as well. That’s not the case with these shallow Mapex toms.Įven though the toms are shallow and sit in the upper-tier sound range, the two floor toms more than make up for it with their beefy tones. If you want to have flat tom angles, you have to raise your drum throne pretty high. Toms with deeper depths need to be placed at an angle if you want to keep them from being in contact with the kick. They have less sustain than standard toms and get out of the way very quickly.Īnother great thing about the shallow depth of the toms is that you can place them directly above the bass drum without worrying about them touching it. As a drummer who loves playing fast patterns around the drums, I love how the shallow toms cater well to that. This particular version is the Fast Tom setup that has rack toms that are shallower than your typical rack toms. However, this Armory Studioease kit is something that I feel is incredibly underrated. While their higher-tier Black Panther kits are quite well-known, I’d argue that not many drummers are aware of any of their lower-priced kits. Mapex isn’t the most popular drum company around.
