When you compare any drum company, you have to make sure that you compare apples to apples. What I mean is that there are different levels of quality within any drum company, from beginner sets all the way to pro level sets.
Is Tama good? Yes, but I think that there are other companies that offer a better drum kits in the intermediate level. My favorite is the Gretsch Catalina. Great kit, good price. Hard to beat!
