hey drummers. would like some feedback on which drums you think is the better of these four. pdp x7, pdp m5, mapex meridian maple or gretsch catalina maple. reason for asking going to buy one of these in july. of course i'm going to go and check them out in person and then make a decision. but maybe you own one of these kits, so would like your opinion, good or bad.
thanks in advance.

My preference would be the Gretsch Catalina kit.

But then again it depends on the genre of music.

I mostly play Rock and Jazz or as some would put it, RockAzz.
