Ok , budget kit,
tama imperial star, for the good stands, better than average drum pedals and quite a comfortable drum throne and the hi hat stand is better than the pearl one cos it can rotate so that u can put ur double bass slave pedal, and in terms of shell construction, i believe those tama imperialstar i tried at jamming studios, although not so well tuned but it does sound great, the price shld be $1k or lesser?
But due to the new pearl i.s.s mount, pearl tom mounts as often said by most drummers, are better than tama's one, drum pedal is also quite good and the new mapex horizon are around $1.4k? i am not very sure but if it is $1.4k, i would recommend a tama superstar which is made of birch.
