I personally own a gretsch catalina ash kit, i really like it, with good heads it can sound very good. I get a lot of compliments on my drums, plus you get the 8" tom, which i have fun tuning very tight, so it doesnt so much match the other toms, but it overs a nice pingy sound that stands out kind of like an octobon, so it stands out when you put it into a fill.
