Hey Ya'll! This is my first time here and I'm hoping that some of you good people can help me out with some advice. Here I am some 25 years after my last paying gig looking to get back into music and I need a new kit that ain't going to leave my wallet as empty as intergalactic space and my better half still talking to me. My last set were Tama Imperialstars, manufactured in the '70s. I recently looked at some new Tamas and was surprised to see that the quality was not as good, in my opinion as my old set, hence, I am looking for something decent, mid-range price. Don't get me wrong, the new Tamas seem to be OK, and I could live with them but I am a bit intrigued by the Taye drums. I'm looking at the lower end of the spectrum at some new Taye RockPro tubs. Before I lay down $659 for a 6 piece shell with a boom stand, straight stand, hi-hat stand, hideaway boom stand, snare stand, Taye's standard pedal and attachable tom mount, I wanted to get some opinions on these drums. I plan to round this set out with some quality Zildjians. This will be my only set for rehearsal and gigs. can anyone render an opinion on this kit or suggest something better for the money?
