From the forum series beginner set to the pearl masters and reference high end sets, pearl delivers great sound quality, shell and hardare quality and they're not so expensive, Tried out all of the pearl sets and each of them sounds amazing. (best one is the masters and the free floating snare drum )
Tama is good but use pearl and like it and think dwdrums are better than Tamma not pearl though
Trusted for uncountable years of service )
We've been using it for our mini concerts and its very-good music makes our performance 'the best'.
DW Drums
All the other companies make great gear. However, the attention to detail that goes into EVERY DW Drum kit, is what makes the difference. John Good, has come up with some amazing ways to get drums to sound the way everyone wants them to. They are VERY pricey. But believe the quality is untouched.
Tama
TAMA IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN
Lars Ulrich's favorite drums
have played early pearl kits made in Japan the quality was unmatchable then but over period of time Tama and ibanez guitars set the standards to near perfection. played drums for pretty long time premiere was another good make in 70s.started as drummer and ended up playing lead guitar now Tama has given a whole new dimension to drum sound construction build quality and sound is unmatched like ibanez has destroyed Gibson and fender in 40 years purely on merit sound build and to top it all the price is so good. That was yesterday its gone Tama has risen from nowhere to stand right on top cause of innovations they do, they keep surprising you with their quality and competitive price.
Mapex
Amazing drum kits! They've got probably the best Snare Drums out of all the drum brands, and nearly the best toms too. Although their cymbals suck but that's what Sabian is for. MAPEX

Review:
This drum set exceeded my expectations in every way. It came complete with cymbals, drum sticks, all stands/hardware, and a drum stool. Was pretty easy to put together with the supplied web site and video (took approx. 1 hour from start to finish). It has a sharp look to it, and has a good sound - it's definitely loud!

How to Read Drum Lesson Sheet
Playing the Hi-hats
The hi-hats are marked just above the top line of the measure with a simple "x" symbol. The image below shows four hi-hat strokes. These are to be played with a drumstick while the hi-hats are closed the entire time (using your left foot on the hi-hats pedal).
You can also play the hi-hats with the foot alone. In other words, instead of hitting them with a drumstick - you use your foot to open and close the hi-hats. This is marked on sheet music with the following "x" symbols below the last line of the measure.
Playing the Ride Cymbal
The ride cymbal is similar to the hi-hats in that it is often used in drum beats as a method of keeping steady time. In fact, most all beginner-to-intermediate rock beats have steady strokes on either the hi-hats or the ride. So, with that in mind - you'll notice that the ride also uses an "x" symbol for drum notation.
Above you can see that the ride cymbal is actually played on an imaginary line above the measure. The small line segments in the middle of the "x" make the symbol look like a star, but mentally you should see this as an "x" sitting on a line.
These stokes would be played with a drumstick on the "bow" of the ride cymbal. This is the part between the edge and the bell - the largest surface. While some heavy rock tunes may require you to crash the ride cymbal (by playing the edge) - you will find that it typically sounds better to play the bow.
Playing the Snare Drum
The snare drum is the most important part of any drum set. It is a vital part of virtually any drum beat, and is the foundation of the rock back-beat. Here is how drum sheet music indicates a regular snare drum stroke (played with a stick hitting the middle of the drum).
As you can see, the snare drum is marked with a simple note on the middle line of the staff. Some books will put this in the second space, but this simpler system makes it easier to differentiate the snare drum from other tom toms (as you will soon see). For now, just keep in mind that the snare drum is in on the middle line.
The snare can also be played using cross-sticking. This technique will be explained in a future lesson, but here is how it is indicated in drum notation.
This is the last of the drum symbols that uses an "x", and unlike the hi-hats or ride cymbal notation - it is circled.
Playing the Bass Drum
The bass drum is played with the right foot on the bass drum pedal. Here is how four strokes are displayed on drum sheet music.
Like the snare drum, this notation shows a simple note. However, the position is in the bottom space of the measure. That is what indicates this note is to be played with on the bass drum.
Some drum sets include two bass drums, or double pedals that allow for both feet to operate the same bass drum. In either case, drum notation has a way of indicating a note that is to be played with the "left" foot on a second bass drum pedal.
As you can see, this second bass drum cymbal is on an imaginary line below the measure. It may seem a little confusion, but don't worry - this is very rarely seen in beginner to intermediate drum lesson material. By the time you need to use it - reading most drum sheet music will be second nature to you.
Playing the Tom Toms
Playing the toms is probably the most difficult part of drum notation to sight read. However, once you understand the three simple symbols, you will be well on your way to developing this important ability. The smallest tom (aka "hi-tom") is indicated with this symbol.
All the tom toms are to be played with a drumstick hitting the center of the drumhead. This produces the clearest tone from the drum, and with practice, will ensure you don't hit the rim of the drum.
The second tom (aka "mid-tom") is marked with the same note, but in the second gap.
And finally, the last tom (aka "low-tom") is indicated with a note in the third gap.
Remember, the snare is on the middle line, and then ALL toms are in gaps between lines. This is what makes it easier to differentiate between playing the snare or toms. Keep that in mind when playing fills, and you will have a much easier time sight reading.
Note: Some drum sets have more than three toms. Unfortunately, standard drum notation does not have symbols for these additional drums. However, you can feel free to be creative with most tom tom patterns, and break them up over whatever drums you want. Perhaps for one fill you can use the symbols to indicate toms one, two, and three. Then, for a second fill - use them to indicate toms one, three, and five (all depending on your set).
