first of all thank you for making the time to give me a very well detailed response.

now i would like to get a 7 piece mainly because i want to be able to do longer fills than i can currently do on my 5 piece.

The type of music i will be playing will probably vary from Rock and Funk to Metal. I am not sure what size drums would be good for that.

And when it comes to wood i think that maple would be really good but i am not sure if i can fit it into my budget.

Any way again i thank you for your help on this.
