    Actually, I would be. God, I want to start learning drums again D: From what I can see, you have a snare (duhlol), 3 mounted toms(?), 2 ground, octobans (above the grounds toms, I can't tell), some toms to your left O_o, hi-hat, 3 chinas, a ride, 2 crash, a splash, and a single bass drum? With the double bass pedals set up obviously :D lol, how accurate was I?

    :] hmmm lets see here. if ur a techno d00d then i say go elektro ;D but if not, then probs stick to a real one! but yea, if your a beginner, i say just a normal tama imperial star. not the 8 piece xD but, if you feel up to the idea, then i say go for it :]] i have a gretsch catalina birch ^_^ Gretsch catalina club mod sets are nice too, if your looking for simplistic ^_^

    Ha ha well the only reason I wanted to get the 8 piece was because it's close to a full(?) set than the others, if you know what I mean. I would rather get it like that then have to upgrade later. Even though upgrading cymbals will probably be a lot more expensive lol

    ahahah yea mike, i understand 100% i had to upgrade mine...and it was SOO expensive :x so if u got all the drums now, all you hafta worry about are the cymbals. i suggest Zyldjian....cymbals are way too expensive x[

    I know! I thought that a decent cynbal pack would be like 100-200 dollars but it's more like 500-700 O_o

    i prefer wood, to get a more natural sound ^_^ if u want a ping from the cymbal, try the nylon, its all personal taste :]
