I used to play tama a while ago. I'm pretty sure any of would be able to help. What are you planning to add to your monster.

i think i want to get another floor tom....i already have a 16 inch one...im into playing to metal and heavy metal but i like making classical music with my band so im not sure if i should get an 18" or a 14"

I would say a 14", I'm assuming you have 10 and 12 inch toms? 18" would probably sound very close to the bass drum. My 16" is actually not too far off from how deep my bass drum is

i play tama rockstar and imperialstar kits and love the way they sound especially for the price i mean there are better but tama are really well made and i love the deep fat kick drum sound they have compared to some other kits...but anyway as far as picking add ons i would go with the 14" cuz i feel it would be more versitile than the 18" especially if you already have a 16" and if you're looking for hardware IMO tama is some of the best you'd be hard pressed to find better...plus they make one of the best kick pedals Iron cobras... but everyone has there opion!!!

You should also check out DW double bass pedals. Once you swap out the beaters on them for lighters ones they go lightning fast and smooth

oh sweet thanks luke...i was thinking about getting new ones for christmas...mine are good but they arent really working for me anymore

Just make sure to try out whatever you get before you buy. Also when you try out some DW pedals keep in mind that they will go even faster once you get lighter beaters on them because the DW stock beaters are pretty heavy for some reason
