The Oriollo aluminum kits are super light.

I don't agree. Of all the drums I've owned through the years (currently own 7 kits), my J-M kit is probably the heaviest.That’s true too. Jenkins-Martins are pretty light.
The Whitney Nesting Penguin with wood hoops is by far the lightest full drum set made these days . Four drums nest are less than 30lbs ( think a 24 case of beer bottles is 33 lbs).
I had a set of three and stupidly sold them . They are marvellous drums available in a variety of sizes and they come with the Quickframe , snare stand and cymbal arms and Tom mounts .
I owned an 18/12/14 INDe kit and they are light but nowhere near as light as the Whitney kit .
I’ve been lusting after the Sonor AQ2 Safari for a while. 16in BD though. Also, don’t know the weights. If I go mobile some day, that’s where I’ll look.

6 Best Mini Drum Kits That You Can Gig With | PMT Online
Here's 6 of the best mini drum kits that offer a massive sound without taking up too much room. These are some of the best small drum kits pro's will love!www.pmtonline.co.uk
I had an AQ2. Great build and sound. They're pretty hefty for their size. I'd not call them "light".
I agree, to me it sounds like absolute crap. But there must be a market for it and it definitely is up there with the lightest available, maybe they'll make a version 2 with better sound. It's not something I'll ever want, mind.The portability of the DW LowPro is impressive, but I'd have to give the sound a 2/10. I've heard toy drum kits that sound better.
And it's $900!
