I totally agree about the throw offs. Simple is great. I don't see the point of the fancy ones.
Mostly, stuff just has to work and sound good. Yes, I'm a gear nerd and own more than I need, but I don't see the point in having a ton of different cymbals and snares when a handful will cover most situations. A couple of snares, a couple of rides, and few different crashes will cover 99.9% of all gigs out there.
My main drum buying policy is have the money for a pair of shoes for the wife so she doesn't "notice" the new drum gear. lol
