upgrade help

[goodkarma jake]

yeah, so i've been playing for about 3-4 years. i currently play in a fusion/jazz/rock jam band--we do little gigs here and there--and have a pearl forum (which i've had since i started).
so i'm looking to upgrade to a kit that's more appropriate for a fusion setting and just sounds better overall. i have good cymbals that i purchased recently.
so i was originally thinking a gretsch catalina club, but a salesman at guitar center proposed a pdp cx/mx (which happens to be more expensive, but its a five-piece). i don't care four v. five piece, i'm fine either way, but i've been playing a five for a few years.
so i would really appreciate advice.
thanks

if u have a budget, id go sonor 3003 on musicians friend, otherwise id go M birch, pro M. the pdp CX/MX are also very good, but u have to play on everything and find what ur own preference. u have the cash, so YOU make the decision, not some schmuck on a commission

try out as much as you can to see what you like for yourself. Theres never really a "right" answer for what drumset to get, just a lot of wrong answers lol
so yea, its all about preference

you wont be dissapointed with the CX. trust me. they are great.

Sonor makes great sets that aren't overpriced. They are not a very big name, therefore can't put a huge price on their drums like Pearl can. You get more quality for the money you pay.

For sure, the CX's are nice!

yeah i think i'm gonna go store-hopping today.
but are the CX's good for jazz and fusion too?

[goodkarma jake]

oh and also, the m birch looks pretty nice w/ that extra tom going on... only thing is i'll have to sell the stands/throne.
