You are right that add-on drums are not available, but if you've got a 6 piece set-up already, on an intermediate kit, you're in pretty good shape. The down side, to me, is the limited finish choices, but then I happen to love the Deep Amber finish.
All in all, IMHO, I think the Gretsch Catalina Maple is an excellent intermediate kit, and a great buy as a shell pack for about $700.
