Usually, it's financial limits.
If your dream is something like a 4-pc wrapped dw, that much more attainable than dreaming about a double kick Yamaha PHX or Sonor sq2 kit.
I JUST PLACED MY ORDER!!!!
Unix Stave Bubinga (high gloss candy black fade)
- Black chrome Die-cast Hoops
- Black Chrome Unix quick release lugs
24x17 (9/16") Kick
15x10 (1/2") Rack
18x15 (1/2) Floor
14x 8 (1") Snare
8 - 12 weeks until the beast is finished and I can't freaking wait. I just spend all day looking at pictures of anything made of Bubinga and drooling...
I have never, ever seen a 15x10 rack tom. I can't wait to see this kit!
14 or 16x22 Bass (don't know which would be better. Any opinions welcome.)
Same "dream to play" kit I used in 2008 :}
Peace Kahuna 9 ply AA flame bubinga kit and a whole arsenal of Istanbul Agops at my disposal depending on what's needed in the studio or for live shows :
Stan: Is that an 18" bass drum or 16" bass? It looks so tiny (but cool)!

you can buy 2 Ludwig SS kits for the price of that Tama kit.IMO, it blows the Ludwig SS out of the water. That is one incredible kit!

You won't be sorry.
I'm feeling very confident with my decision. After spending endless hours searching for my "perfect" kit, I was about to settle on a Tama SC Bubinga when I came across the Unix page. I had never really known all that much about stave shells, but after spending something like 2 hours on the phone with Frank I was sold. He was nice enough to put me in touch with someone he had previously built a bubinga kit for so I could go and try it out. So I sat in with a funk/blues band, drank some scotch and found the drumset of my dreams.
I had to sell my Ayotte Customs (cherry rosewood w/ matching wood hoops) to pay for these, but I kept my Keplinger (1st gen w/ wood hoops) because... well it's a Keplinger and I love that drum way too much to let it go, but as for the rest of the kit, I'm not regretting my decision one bit.
Oh, and by the way Zampizzi, you have great taste in drums. I was originally going to just order toms and a kick to go with my keplinger, but after seeing just how beautiful Unix drums sound and look, I knew I'd kick myself for not getting the matching snare.
Now the waiting game...
