Yeah man, most if not all major drum companies are starting to realise that most people dont want to spend 4000 on a pro kit. I can tell you that the mid range kits of today are just as or better then the high end of the 80's. Im 34 and have been playing since 1984 so Ive seen how the kits have progressed over the last 20 years.
...that's a fact.
...Yamboy, I would get the kit without the 16x16. The 14x14 it comes with will do just fine. That's a great kit that had high end looks. Gretsch has just won the stupid award for getting rid of the Catalina Birch. They should've canned the Ash. Notice how Pearl, Tama, Mapex and PDP are all up on Birch with the Visions, Superstar, M Birch and 805's.
