Soundpunk: My friend told me the Gretsch at Ranking Sport is the low end model. The Catalina Birch has 20 and 22" BD size.
Darren: You are right, players make a lot of difference, like for me, i can't play drums well, but who cares, i am just recording others....
Seekz: I can't seem to find much drums with floor toms by 18" size, most are 16", any you recommend that is within 1.5k??
Still midway on research, it seems many people are mentioning that 100% Birch wood is recommended for recording as Birch is a sound that is easy to EQ. Sticking by that, it seems so far Gretsch Catalina Birch and Ludwig LC325E Accent CS Custom Elite Power seems to be the best choice as they are both 100% Birch at <1.5k. Both brands hard to find in Singapore. A friend told me Tama is very rock sound, which may indeed be difficult for a studio, since like all instruments, a sound too colored may be not very versatile for multi purpose usage..
I tried on Birch sound, and to say it, i love the sound, it has become my favourite, 2nd Oak, 3rd Maple.
