thought I'd do a follow up to last years thread!
Hopefully this will give all you people who are at work something to do. ;)

Here's mine.
Basically drum wise I'd like to add a Starclassic Bubinga Gong Bass Drum in the Quilted Mocha Burst Finish (closest finish without having to buy what what be a very expensive custom finish) I everything else I'd want for my dream set which is my kick-ass Tama Warlord Masai kit

For Cymbals I'd love the following (diagram below)
Zildjian
1-12" A Special Recording Hats
2-13" K Hats (Have)
3-21" A Sweet Ride (Have)
4-6" Zil-Bel
5-10" K Splash
6-17" K Custom Dark Crash (Have)
7-18" K Thin Crash
8-18" K Custom Dark Crash (Have)
Wuhan
9-12" Chinese (Have)
10-16" Chinese (Have)
11-18" Chinese

In terms of hardware basically all I'd like is a snare basket that attaches to my rack, such as the DW version. and maybe a few extra PCX-200 clamps for my ICON rack so I can have some fun experimenting with putting on other drums/cymbals on.

Gretsch USA Custom in Champagne sparkle....24x16, 13x9, 16x16...(ill keep my snares, hats, crashes and hardware)...Zildjian 24" K light ride, and 22" K Constantinople Bounce Ride...that'd suit me just fine!!!
 
My dream kit is a Gretsch USA Custom (1 up, 2 down) in Harlequin Curly Rosewood Gloss. But I would be dreaming if I thought I had any hope getting a kit like that in 2010!

I already own my dream kit of Ludwig Classic Maples, so my pick is:

Ludwig Legacy Classic in either Sunset Diamond Pearl or Indigo Sparkle

8x12 TT
14x14 FT
16x16 FT
14x22 kick
6.5x14 snare

with Elite hardware, Classic Lugs (mini-classics on the 8x12), T-handle kick drum tension rods, curved spurs, and Vibraband tom mount.

Zildjian Armands
21" ride
18" thin crash
16" thin crash
14" hats
 
For me it would be a Yamaha PHX kit in textured black sunburst, 3 up (8,10,12), 2 down (14,16) with an 18X22 kick all on a 3 sided hex rack:)
 
I'd like a kit made from Vaughncraft one-ply cherry shells-
7X10
8X12
9X13
12X14
14X16
14X20 BD

Or a Tempus fiberglass kit in the same configuration.
 
Set
Spaun Hybrid maple/acrylic
Clear acrylic, white lacquer finish, satin chrome hardware
22x16 or 20x18 BD
12x8 or 12x7 T
14x12 FT
16x14 FT (left side)
Not sure on snare

Cymbals
A mix of Meinl Byzance and Sabian HHX

Hardware
Gibraltar Avenger direct drive pedal
Gibraltar 9600 Series Dual Leg Hi-Hat Stand With Liquid Drive
Pearl 1000 series snare drum stand
Sound Percussion Embroidered Drum Throne
 
Dream kit? I think that would be easy: Craviotto bebop setup with 10 and 12 toms in either maple, cherry, or walnut wood. Those shells sing wonderfully.

13x12 rack tom
15x14 floor tom
17x16 floor tom
23x15 bass
