Amazon has a New Classic black sparkle 3 piece bop kit for $1,063 right now. Brand new with shipping included.
.... but what would the construction and bearing edges be considered on those drum sets. I want a warm round tone, what can I look for to achieve that sound?

I see this one for $1,899.99 (on October/26/2014) - http://www.amazon.com/Gretsch-Class...1414348277&sr=8-11&keywords=New+Classic+drums
You have no idea how close to reality that is sometimes. Bolt on a hobby router table, Asian hardware catalogue, & online badge maker, & you're there! (& yes, I know a piece of glass is a really poor surface plate for checking bearing edges, not that it matters of course
Here you go. This price will probably change tomorrow morning. I've been watching Amazon for a while and they've been moving the price downward daily. It'll get to a point, then they'll put it back up to $1899. How far down it drops before they either sell out or put them back to $1899 is anybody's guess.

About 6 months ago, there was some huge blowout clearance. New NCs in bop configs were going for as low as $800. You occasionally find clearance kits. I usually just hit google/shopping to find them.

^Example of $1000 NC -- I have no affiliation, and no idea if they're even a legit shop.
