Awesome kit, I love mine!!! For control this may help: I use those Evans Tone Control rings on the toms, and I have an Evans EMAD on the bass. The bass is nice and punchy too. the tom heads i use Coated Remo Emperor heads but thats just me, i like the lower tone of a 2 ply head.
and for gigs ( playing mine tonight) the best feature of this kit is the light weight. I carry the toms, my snare and the bass in one trip, all in gator bags.
