There is a guy selling a like new Saturn on San Antonios craigslist in 22x14(yes 14") 12x9, 14x14, 16x16 and snare I believe for $750 in Rootbeer burst. I was thinking about buying it just because of the price.
 
My goal: Slingerland drums, Carmine Appice's set up style.
Carmine endorses Aquarian drum heads.

Looking for some K's and will have my Musashi oak customized (pics soon) to roll with the Steve J. Walker Band.

Will add a 18" Z Custom china for my current band. If I win the lotto or come up with some big cash I will order my new Odery kit.
 
I'm not sure if this is a "Dream Kit" for me but I really would love to have the Gretsch Catalina Maple.

I sat behind this kit at a store not to long ago and what a beautiful sound. Now that kit was surrounded by a tasty Paiste collection too so.......... yeah, I guess with that cymbal setup it would be a "Dream Kit" :)
 
This would be mine if I decide to sell the Renowns.
That would be Twisted Rainbow wood. Jazz Series.

Well, if I could have anything, it would be an SQ2 in the same finish as Gavin Harrison's. It's the kit on a recent cover of MD...

actually i decided to change my mind, us young kids tend to do that alot, i changed to Jose Pasillas' Dw kit but in white. With the same cymbals he has all Sabian AAX and HHX i believe.

My dream kit would be what the picture displays except it would be tama bubinga make with die cast rims. The heads would be remo ebony pinstripe for all of the toms, a remo controlled sound for the snare and evans EC2 for the bass drums. It would be pearl pedals and hi hat stands along with all gibralter hardware. The sticks i would use would be vater 5A nude. Oh i forgot the snare is a 14" mapex black panther solid steel snare drum limited edition. The cymbals would be mismatched of sabian zildjian and meinl

My dream kit was shipped from Trick percussion with an estimated arrival date of the 15th of Jan.

I still have to pick up my Zildjian cymbals, and DDRUM deccabons. Pics in about 2-3 weeks.
 
Sorry. Does'nt get any cooler than this; and it's not hype. Go read the review at Musicradar, and you'll see there is no wood kit that is anywhere near the sonic level of this thing. ...and, yes, I know it is expensive.

C&C drums, or maybe SJC drums all maple
18x20, 6x10, 7x13, 13x15, 16x18
6x13 snare, 10 ply w/ 6 ply rings
love to have some octabon rip offs, or 2x8 single headed drums as well

as far as cymbals, the ones I've got are amazing, a collection I've been building since I
was 17. To add to them? A whole set of Paiste 2002 accent bells, a 22in K Custom ride (the heavy ass shiny one, they don't make 'em anymore), Paiste 15in twenty hi hats.

a man can dream...
