Well after a long hard battle with myself,i got a refreshing phone call from my friend that owns his own drum store.He told me he can get me the new Mapex Saturn Pop Fusion 22 7-piece kit with hardware for 2400.00 out the door.I finally realized i can't beat this deal so i'm going ahead with the order.Gonna go with the natural gloss color.

Which does it fit better - Your sound requirements or your playing style?

Just curious...

Bothe.I prefer my toms to be low and almost flat,and i can't get comfortable with the toms i have now.They are too deep for me to set them up right and be comfortable when playing.I also like the punchy sound that the Tama's shallow toms have.

You could have had your shells recut and had some sweet bearing edges to boot.  That would have been a fraction of the cost of a new set.

Ay, I didn't know that it was a basswood set - "make it do what it do".
