Wow. Just source some rims, a bass drum hoop, T's 'n' claws ..... they'll be sweet.

Power tom and modular hardware ..... nice kit ...... but for most people, not $1000 nice.

This is a great site.

Let me know when it comes down to $135. 😂

First off ...... Welcome to Drummerworld There are a lot of video's on YouTube on this ..... so maybe watch one or two, to catch the main points. I run coated Emperors on my Ludwig 3 ply kit. Great for that warm, vintage tone. So ...... 1) Take off the old head 2) Run a soft, clean rag...

Oh .... OK ..... less sustain. Well .... then the PS3 territory (and beyond, it is). Evans PS3 would be the EQ4. If you wanna keep marching with Evans ..... after that, you get into Hydraulic heads (similar to Pinstripe) and the EMAD heads. I have Aquarian SKII's (similar to the EMAD) on...

Butch uses an old Slingerland Jam Session kit ....

It's "basically" an Ambassador with a built on richie ring (which is a total "old school" solution). I'm real happy with coated P3's on my toms (batter) .... on my snare (one of them), I like the Evans HD Dry .... which is a little different than a P3, but in the same vein. If you're looking...

Yup .... just keep experimenting. I use Fiberskyn reso. Never really got into using them batter, on bass drums. Have one currently reso., on my 26x14 Ludwig 3 ply (Superkick I batter). You might find the PS3 batter, Fiberskyn reso. is the winning combo.

While I would love to have an Oak kit (Yamaha Oak Customs) ..... they would simply overpower my current drum space. If you're playing live, and competing with amps (as mentioned above) ..... Oak is a great choice. But overall, if you have a Birch kit already ..... I'd go Maple.

Maybe just a strip or two of race/gaffer tape will do the trick. Or tape a strip of felt to the head.

Tom holder/cymbal stand

Here's a nice kit. Good sizes, to straddle that jazz/pop/inde sound. https://missoula.craigslist.org/msg/d/silver-gate-piece-gretsch-renown-drum/7240863653.html

I'm finding none. (easily available, accurate reports) What I've found so far is a lot of speculation. Opinions. And "facts" that become discredited as soon as you unearth more "facts".
