What is a good drum set for an intermediate/pro player?
I have been looking at Gretsch Catalina Maple, Pearl MCX Masters Custom or Pearl Forums. Any other suggestions would be great. Here are the drums URLS

Thank you kindly
first of all, eliminate the forums. pearl forums are intended for beginner-intermediate. the wood is not great and therefore the tone is lacking bigtime. if anything, look into the visions. the gretsch catalina is a fairly popular kit and i personally love the sound of it. a lot of jazz and blues drummers will play on gretsch, but the maple has a warmer sound, making it suitable for any type of music. the pearl masters custom would be my top choice. these drums are amazing! they are the mass produced version of the masters series, but still a great kit nonetheless. the maple drums are ideal for rock music, but will suit any genre just fine. its a pretty-looking, and a pretty-sounding kit.
