I bought a Gretsch Renown Maple kit recently that I really love. I'm looking for a second shell set that would be very different in sound from the Renowns. I'm considering the Tama Starclassic B/B, Pearl Reference, Ludwig Keystones and Yamaha Recording Customs. Problem is, where I live it's nearly impossible to find these kits to play. The Gretsch Renowns are full and sound great. I'm just looking for an alternative with a little more punch and bottom end. I'd like to narrow down the choices and then figure out a way to play them. Any input is appreciated.
