Accu-tone hoops date that kit to late 90's, I think. Tama was still using 8 ply Philippine Mahogany shells. There's a lot of nuance in early (70's) Imperialstar, Royalstar, and Swingstar shells (essentially 9 ply Philippine Mahogany shells with Zola coated interiors) ...... so not knowing what...

What's the kit you currently own ..... and what type of music do you play? That will determine what I'd suggest. I you really are serious about wanting just a bass, snare, hi hat, crash ...... I'd suggest (for starter suggestions) a kick that's a different size to your current set. I've got...

Mega 50 would be sized 24, 13, 14, 18. My post was before you listed the size of your drums. And cbphoto and me were "speculating" on what you had.

The Natural Maple/Thermogloss is my fav. Luddie finish. Very cool additions.

Another vote for the Taye. For all the reasons you don't like the Exports, the Taye does sidesteps those issues.

You shouldn't use sticks on it ..... so if your want to use sticks ..... something like the SPD-SX or SPD-30 would be the way to go.

Last time I bought a "new" drum set, was 1980. Current stable has 11 drum kits, 7 snares and 33 cymbals in it ..... all purchased used.

Killer drum room. Welcome to Drummerworld.

That's a score !!!

I'm not a fan of hanging floor toms ..... but pictured is a bass drum, two racks, two floors ..... snare and hardware/cymbals included? I could see someone asking $3K or there abouts.

Your photo next to a Gretsch Blackhawk I got off the internet ......

Zildjian A Special Recording hats .....

Kudos. I've been a fan of hybrid kits for quite a while, now.

Evans described Black Chrome head as "Evans Black Chrome drumheads are ideal for drummers who hit hard, play fast, and desire a punchy tone. Featuring a two-ply construction with a ply of 7mil optically clear film over a 7.5mil black film that shortens sustain and provides an accentuated...

I've been following Etienne for about 4 years. Check out this 48" cymbal he made.

Me too .....

All I did was click on his name to bring up his YouTube channel, and the video "3 Violent Fills" starts playing, and I immediately recognize Nick DePirro's guitar playing. So, wow, small world, I follow Nick on IG, because I follow Aric Improta (originally discovered thru a Morfbeats link) ...

Actually ..... my initial statement is wrong. (by straight shell, I meant no reinforcement ring). Upon looking closer to your photo. Slingerland produced both a 3 ply with reinforcement ring shell and a 5 ply straight shell (no reinforcement ring) ..... and for quite a few years they offered...

He sounds pretty good here .....

So he's got the 18" as his kick, and 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 inchers rack and floor. He IS asking a little much. $1800 US. But figure around $1000 just in roto toms. Those 18's go for over $400 now, on eBay. I'm on my 3rd go-round with roto toms.
