Build one yourself. You'll be able to save money, and get it exactly how you want.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Check out the guys at www.ghostnote.com.
Look at www.vaughncraft.com. I just ordered my Vaughncraft shell on Sunday. Email those guys. They'll give you a good deal. One-Ply steambent shells with re-rings. Just like those good ol' Craviotto shells.
Then go over to www.drumfoundry.com and order your hardware.
I just built myself a tiny little bop kit (http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42590) and couldn't be happier. I can't see myself buying another drum that I don't put together myself for quite a while now.
