    I just voted for Gretsch because of their consistency across the board in their manufacture. Great drums at any level.

    I love the sound of Tama drums. Gretsch is nice, but I could sit down with a maple Tama for hours.

    I'll put a vote for Tama. But that's because I own a Tama kit. I'm pretty brand neutral.

    I completely agree with 32ndHeartBeat here, I could sit at my maple Tama kit for hours! (and I have :p)

    Sonor. Because I have had the same Sonor kit for 22 years, and have yet to break anything on it. Also...
    They are made by crazed german engineers, who over build the poop out of everything.

    Is there a reason you left that little known drum company DW, off the list of options?

    Recently I have found out that choosing a single company looks cool but any good drummer can make a drum kit sound almost to their liking if they invest enough money in the kit.(looks, such as all your pedals, match or all your hardware is exactly the same)

    That being said, I chose Pearl :P

    I am partial to PDP and DW because that's what I own. But truth be known all of the major brands are making really nice kits. Even the mid price lines are light years ahead in quality over the stuff being produced 20/30 years ago. I know that is an arguable point, but I beleive that it is true. I love the old stuff as much as anyone else, but the reality is the new stuff is better hands down. I think it is because of the stiff competetion that everyone keeps one uping each other for sales. Certainly hardware is vastly improoved over the years.

    As much as I love Pearl, Mapex just have that extra punch going for them...for less cash as well.

    I'm a DW guy myself (have a 6pc DW). I totally agree with you about the kits they're making these days. There's a lot of great companies out there that I like. I ain't gonna lie......I want one of EVERYTHING! Blessings........

    I am a luddy fan too! Just don't own anything other than the supraphonic 402. Best snare drum ever made in my opinion. They say they are the most recorded snare in history. Problem is who checks these kinds of facts? Someone with too much time on their hands evidently.

    The numbers speak my friend. I don't think there's any real difference in quality though. It's more personal preference. I prefer a pearl. Probably because I learned on a pearl... all of my high schools equipment was pearl etc...

    Gretsch
    DW
    Sonor
    and then my custom companied that i lvoe so much (sjc truth C&C)
    while i like all the other brands
    they seem like they just keep putting different colors on the same old sizes
    im really not one to be picky though
    theres only so much that changes from drum company to drum company
    alot of it is if it is tuned right
    what heads are on it
    what wood used
    and care given while being manufactured
    they are all variables

    Cheers =]

    It depends on what I'm playing. When I'm playing in my band, I need my Sonor because it just has 'that' sound and feel for the songs we play. When I'm just jamming with friends or I'm writing out parts for songs, I like my Ludwig kit. I'm going to go with Sonor because it was my first kit.
    It's a classic.
