    I'd probably get a Roland 6KX if I could find one.

    Any left over money would be for fun accessories.

    Wow Kryshah, that's a darned good choice!

    Yeah... I actually have an extended version of the same set (same finish and all) as my desktop wallpaper at work right now... beautiful kit. May own a tama, but I'm a pearl guy through and through.

    I'd get a Roland electronic drumset. I used to have a TD-7 and it was so much fun to play. It would just be a secondary kit for me but I've been wanting another one for a long time.

    There is a guy who lives close to me named Eddie Valerio. He builds custom drums. Yes, he buys keller shell...but he does a great job with finishes and installing hardware. I would have him make me a custom set.

    Probably:

    22"x22" bass.
    12"x9"
    13"x10"
    14"x12"
    15"x13"

    White laquer, with black hardware.

    I would custom order a Gretsch Renown kit with following sizes:

    22x18 Bass
    8x10 Tom
    9x12 Tom
    10x13 Tom
    16x16 Tom
    6-1/2x14 Snare
    5600 Gibraltar Hardware Pack
    Bass drum tom mount system, I don’t believe in that Virgin bass drum stuff. I’ve been around way to long to hear any real difference.

    Gretsch is planning new finishes for 2008 so I would like to see their offering but right now the Autumn Burst is the finish I would choose.

    I would probly just order the start to my dream DW kit, I probably couldn't get much just the 22" bass drum 10" tom and possibly the 16" floor tom.

    I love the big kits, so I would have to say the Mapex M Birch 6-Piece and I'd probably add something like Roto-toms because I'm old school like that, haha. I would probably finish the set off with some nice Paistes or something to that effect.
    It's a classic.

    If I had $2000.00 to spend on nothing but drum realted stuff I would buy a 12channel rack mounted mixer, rack mounted compressor and gate for 8 of the channels and rack mounted effects. and a rack flight case. I want to be able to mix my own drums and send one feed to the house board so that I don't take up so many channels on the main board. It is becoming a more pressing problem by the day!

    I believein the virgin bass drum concept. It is really not to do with sound but the amount of stress being applied downward onto the plies of the drum. I think it pays off in long haul.
    all the best...

    I'm actually going to try this myself in a few weeks. I have a 32 channel stage mixer i'm going to mix the front monitors and our in ear systems. I've never really had to mix the stage before but i'm hoping it will help with our hearing issues.

    I'm going to take pics as well, i'm sure it will look pretty sweet having a big mixer beside me
