Hi. My studio has a '64 Slingerland kit (22 Kick, 12,13,16 toms) in champagne sparkle and a Premiere 14 by 5 1/2 maple snare. I'm not a drummer but I've gotten pretty good at tuning. I'll use different heads depending on what sound I want, but lean toward coated ambassadors on the toms, Aquarian on the kick, and control sound on the snare. My kit gets used occasionally, and I really like it for anything of a classic rock vibe, but most bands want to use their own kit. All in all, though, I'm finding that cheap cymbals cause far more problems for my recordings than cheap drum kits. The cheaper Yamaha, Pearl, etc, are WAY better than they were say 10 years ago (granted, still not as good as a really great kit), and after we spend some time tuning I'm usually able to get sounds I'm happy with....assuming the drummer knows how to get good tone, etc.
