2)mapex Qr series(drum resources) + istanbul samatyas(drum resources)~1.8k
3)PDP FXr series(4 piece) (rankings) + istanbul samatyas(drum resources)~1.8k

if your budget is without cymbals,then u can go for:
1)PDP CX series(rankings) [*]
2)PDP MX series(rankings) [*]
3)yamaha stage custum(yamaha)
4)pearl export radical(sweelee)
5)Peace DNA maple(Ezimusic)

hey guys....thanks for the advice!

at the moment...Im looking at:

yamaha stage custom
Tama rockstar
pearl export radical - looks nice!

let me know what do you guys think k...by the way are these drumset made in japan?

I heard PDP is quite good so I'll definately check them out....Im not very sure about Gretsch and Peace.....where are these made? Taiwan Japan or Indonesia?.....I heard drumset made in Indonesia are crap....is it true?

Im actually looking for a versatile drum set....the drumset must be able to accommodate a jazz, rock and metal drummer...

Sorry for the all the questions...I'm not a drummer...I'm buying this drumset for my rehearsal studio...

Cheers bros...
