Tama vs. Gretsch


A mighty battle has emerged in my quest for a new drum set.

First off, we have...
-Tama Imperial Star 5 piece standard black drum set with hardware,
-Includes Meinl HCS cymbals (Ride, Crash, and 12'' china)
-Custom fit to be a 7-piece
-hardware is double braced
-I will (hopefully) sell the cymbals and use that money to buy Sabian Xs20's
(See the Xs20 plan in the "What do you think of this set up?" thread in Cymbals)
-Taye double pedal
-For $945


And Finally...
-Gretsch Catalina Ash 6-piece shell pack (black)
-Added 15x13 inch floor tom
-Taye double pedal
-Sabian cymbals xs20's
-Sound Percussion 5-piece hardware pack (double Braced)
-My price=$774
-Total price=$1300

Which do you think should take the title as "My Set?"
Please help me out on this! Thanks in advance!

Gretsch all the way. And you know why I prefer the Gretsch line over the Tama line. I'm not knocking down the Tama, it's a matter of choice to my likes.

Re: Tama vs. Gretsch


Yeah.
I love the Gretsch now.
When I buy it, there is an optional extra 14x14 floor tom I can get
it with.
for I think around $250. Pretty good price I think.
Awesome drum set.

Don't laugh too hard now. Some grow taller and some grow wider after a certain age. So enjoy the younger years while you can. Also some grow bald, some younger and some older.
