You'd want to get at least Session Series Pearl, or any DW. And go with the Sabian HHX's.

Hey, I'm thinking in about 6 months too pickup a mid-priced drumset for myself so that I can have a practice drumset home so if I bring my Yamaha one to church or a gig I have one home also.
I was thinking of around the $2500-$3000 range including or excluding the systems, and ebay or someone elses kit is an option.
I was thinking of getting either a Pearl, DW, Mapex, or Tama.. Do you guys have an spefic suggestions.. on either of these.. I'd probably just get a 4 - piece setup since I don't like using much more then that anyways.. And I might finally try out some Paiste cymbals or Sabian HHX's.
Anyways, waiting for your replies.

Yeah, how are you finding your Session and how much did you pay for your current setup you got (the new one).

I love it. It sounds a billion times better than my last kit.
The current setup is 5 piece (I'm still waiting on the other floor tom to get here). It's original cost for the 5 piece was $3500 AUD, but there was a Sale on when we ordered it, so we got it for $2700 AUD (5 pieces). Then ordered the 14x14 floor on top of that for an extra $600.
So with the sale, I basically got an extra piece for the same price as a standard 5-piece.
Hope this helps.

depends on whether you want brand-new or not...you could probably score a nice used DW kit for about that, especially if you're looking for a 4 piece....if you want brand-new, go with the Pearl.

Hmm, yeah.. When I was getting my new yamaha.. The guy at the store quoted me on a Black Swiral DW 4 - piece for around $3k new. So I'm open too a DW on ebay or somewhere or a Pearl for sale.
