I've had the same drum set for the past 6 years, so I definitely feel like I'm due for a new kit.
It's a cheap off-brand set. I've made due by getting a couple new snares: firecracker (5x12) and a Ludwig Standard (5.5x14), and upgrading the cymbals to Zildjian K's and A's.
I was thinking of getting something in the $1000 price range- give or take a hundred or two. I would only need a shell pack, because I've also upgraded hardware.
Some of the kit's I'm thinking about:
Gretsch Catalina Maple
PDP X7 Maple
PDP M5 Maple
Pearl Vision Birch
So I was wondering if anyone has ever had a chance to play any of these kits and what they thought of them. I'm leaning towards the Vision, but I'm not sold on it quite yet. I also like the fact that the newer model X7's are all maple. Or maybe I should consider a different kit other than these.
