Personal choice is fine, and if somebody doesn't like toms on a cymbal stand that's all good. But ergonomics and real estate are irrelevant

That is just not the case. I have a virgin bass drum, and have the toms on cymbal stands, and everything is exactly where I want it with no problems with real estate.

The inclusion of Billie Jean is a he'd scratcher for me. The song has a deserved place in drumming lore as an example of less being more, and the importance of playing a simple part with authority, but it's just not a great drum intro.

Add Mapex Saturns to your choice set. Nutty walnut goodness to blend with the syrupy maple sweetness. Yes, I have a Saturn kit.

Jazz is not for everybody.

The 13 is so good because not only is it an odd number, but a prime number, which is what gives it that extra special sound.

Zackly! How can you go wrong, even with entry level drums, for $100? Or, another way, what deal have you found that eclipses this one?

I had a Blackrolite for a long while, and liked it. You can't go wrong.

So long singer...don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Having tried one once on an Acrolite, I am not a fan of reverse dot heads. I found that the feel and sound was too different depending on whether I struck the head on the reverse dot or just to the side of it. For me, Genera HD Dry is the snare batter head.

Power Of Love - Jennifer Rush/Huey Lewis And The News

Does this count? Bring Me Some Water by Melissa Etheridge, from around 2:27, where the song goes into (???) half time, where the back beat moves to the '3' of each bar.
