Black "faux Gretsch' kit cost me only $100 (a CB700 'virgin' bass drum, Astro toms). Sounded OK.
Second kit is vintage, but were orphaned drums adding up to only $300..and sound awesome.
Blasphemy I tell you. Pure Gretsch blasphemy.

22x16" White Sparkle Sonor Designer Maple Light kick (12 plies, 8,4 mm) w/short lugs
16x14" Blue Sparkle Sonor Designer Maple Light suspended tom (9 plies, 6,4 mm) w/long lugs and Pearl Optimount
10x8" Piano Black Sonor Force 2007 Birch (9 plies, 7 mm)
I traded these shells for 3 Hardcase cases, and a Pearl 14x5,5" FF Copper snare.
The 14x5,5" Mapex Black Panther Stainless Hammered Steel snare came to me separately.
How does Sonor's high end stuff (except the 2007, which is not all that low end) be considered a "cheap drum kit"????
Cheap = does not cost much.
I traded the set for 3 bags and a snare. We can say $ 250 for a drumset is not a high price, in my opinion - ergo this is a cheap drum kit.
Custom Classic Pro Hybrid Birch. Six pieces, hi hat, two cymbal stands, snare stand and bass pedal for $499 new. Bought it for a practice kit and because I wanted some "hyper sized" toms but have used it at some small gigs and honestly really like it.

True...in a sense. I think "fantastic deal' would be more appropriate.
I assumed the thread title meant "cheaper line of drums" but whatever works.

Pearl, Ludwig, Taye and other parts from 8 different people rebuilt for about 150.00
Wow, so that is Frankensteined? I'd never be able to guess because you did a great job with the refinish.

Hehe, Harry... I was just correcting that! Didnt want anyone making that mistake.
Sorry I can't recognize it. I know very little about snares and other drums, that's why I'm asking. And sorry if I made an impression like I belittled your valuable snare.
Still with my question (and once again this is because I know very little and I hope some enlightening without offending anybody): why do most cheap kits use thin, steel snare, is it because it's cheaper than wood? Please inderstand that "cheap" for me is entry level, not a low priced, used kit (although it could be a DW).
For example, Tama Swingstar 1st ed (now discontinued), Tama Stagestar (now discontinued), new version Tama Imperialstar 1st ed (2005-2006), Sonor Force 507 (now discontinued), etc....... all use steel snares. Anybody could help enlighten me?
