Frequently Asked Questions

SONIClear edges create a more consistent head contact, resulting in easier tuning and a more even tone across the drumhead.
The Armory Tomahawk snare is a decent starting point, but serious players will likely want to upgrade to a higher-end snare for more nuanced response and projection.
While 7.2mm is a good compromise, extremely aggressive players might find the shells lack the ultimate low-end power of thicker, heavier shells.
