let's add another component to this question. With higher end kits, do people buy matching snares because they match, more often than not?
My main snare is a Ludwig BB. Some day, I hope to obtain a matching kit.

That's a million dollar idea right there if they put it into production. Imagine the rush to own a full black beauty set.

I also just got a Yamaha Gigmaker set (not recommended) ...
Did you detail in another thread what you don't like about them? If so, I missed it.
Low cost, entry level kit, so there's probably multiple things.
Especially if you've gotten used to upper tier stuff.

Imagine the weight of that kit, eh? Remember when Carl Palmer had that kit made out of stainless steel? And then the drum riser collapsed before a show! I thought my Copeland 5x14 COB snare was heavy! Imagine an 18x22 bass drum!
Two and a half tons?? Wow. That's incredible.Actually,his bass drum for that kit was 28x22 and the whole kit weighed over two and a half tons.Yes tons.The drums were 1/4 " thick stainless steel,,and the snare was a Ludwig supersensitive 6.5x14,and the only part of the kit that was made by a drum company except the snare,were the rims made by Gretsch.Ringo now owns that kit.
