1Pearl
Pearl is incredible five stars 2 thumbs up. I have been playing with a pearl vision birch drum set and it sounds as great as it looks. I definitely recommend any product from pearl. They definitely give you a hell of a lot of bang for your buck. It may not be top dollar professional set but I know I will enjoy it for years. I have played on a number of sets including yamaha gretsch and tama but nothing that matched the sound quality or durability of my pearl set.
Great drum, great price, great sound, great brand...
Play it, and you will love it...
It will be satisfy you, I guarantee it..
Really, its a good drum, if its bad, why the rock and metal drummer use it? So choose PEARL DRUM

Pearly by far is the best drum brand of all time. I get all of my drum sets from this company, and have not only received no lemons, but incredible quality every time. I hope that everybody that would like to recieve a great drum set, sould go to a site or store with pearly products.

2Tama
I had Tama Starclassic Maple Sparkle Green and I think he's right, Tama have really good sound for the drums especially when using LU1465 snR.Its quality of sound makes it worth for its price even though there are many other drumhead brand out there. I also prefer Pearl, DR Custom and PDP
Just got a Tama set and I LOVE it! I could never get my toms to the low pitch I liked without sacrificing head tension on my old set and with my Tamas I can even go lower than I want to have. love them!
I'm 12 years old and I had a pearl kit and it was quite expensive...
in Christmas, I got a TAMA kit and it just rocked my heart out. I strongly recommend TAMA. Pearl is Good, but not the best(and a little overpriced).
If looking for Cymbals, Try Zildjian. m//

3DW Drums
I think drum workshop is the best. I don't own a kit but have their pedals and couldn't be hapier. Dw is definitely up there in quality and looks. Also sound. I love dw
DW can customize everything they can do anything you want look at Neil Pearts time machine drum kit its buetiful every drum is crafted with painstaking quality. Look at all the artist who have endorsed them my all time favorite drummer Cobus just did they can't be #3 when so many people think they're #1
Expensive drums, but supreme shell quality, really good customs drum set, warm and punchy sound

4Mapex
I have a Mapex Horizon and this sounds amazing. The heavy strong sound of the skins of all the drum part simply blows people!. I never had a problem with this set ever since 5 years. Tuning and built in facilities are not complicated to manipulate. So thus in my opinion Mapex is an excellent brand and deserves to be ranked in the! !
Mapex Meridian Maple works for me. New Evans G2 heads, and a Pearl Masters Premium Legend snare (and some lovely cymbals) have made it as good as most kits around, unless you are spending really serious money of course. Still, if I had cojones to spend the money I'd get Mapex Saturn Shells.
But in truth most of the main brands produce some great kits.

I have a set it's very nice and gives great sound. I recommend this drum to anyone who loves the instrument in my opinion and just tue fact that iv played sets from every brand there is Mapex is my favorite of all.

5Yamaha
I own 4 kits presently... 2003 Ayotte customs, 2005 DW Collectors, 2011Yamaha Recording Custom Anniversary kit and 2011 Gretsch New Classics. I love them all, but have to say the Yamaha's just sound incredible... Easy to tune, warm rich fully rounded tone. They are my favorite kit, but I have an attachment already as this is a remake of the early 80's RC kit... I owned a 1980 set just like these and had them for 16 years before handing them down to my son who still plays them today.
The yamaha drum kit hits you like a one huge cannon ball! Period. Its the the best!
Recording custom is the best sound I have ever heard!

6Gretsch
A magic sound for the Renown Maple limited edition
Renowns are fantastic sounding and great looking. The new 57;s are stunning.
The śGretsch Renowns" are pretty nice. If I could go back & buy a śRenownť kit again though, I would invest in the kit that includes a 16ť floor tom & probably the 24ť or 18ť bass drum instead of the 14ť floor & 22ť that came with mine. The problem I™ve found with the śRenown™sť is that they can be challenging to tune at times. Once you find the sweet spots though, this kit can be truly amazing. If I could afford it, I would most definitely invest in the śGrestch New Classicť kit. In my honest humble opinion, the śNew Classic™sť is by far the nicest sounding mass marketed kit I™ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. One of the absolute keys behind the śNew Classic™sť design is the mounting system. The mounting system doesn™t touch the lugs or the shell, there for the mounting system doesn™t pull on the rim or squeeze the lugs while disrupting the resonance. It really, really makes a difference. In-fact, I loved the śNew Classicť mounting concept so much that I actually bought the single 12ť śNew Classicť tom to incorporate with my śRenownť kit. In comparison, the śNew Classicť 12ť tom cleanly resonates far nicer then the 12ť tom that came with my śRenown™sť. I just put the śRenownť 12ť in the closet - and use the śNew Classicť 12ť now. I also got a chance to hear the "New Classic" 22ť bass drum & śNew Classicť snare drum in a show room. The whole kit is amazing...

7Sonor
My Sonor kit sounds amazing - better than any other brand I've played. In addition, just by looking at how well the set it built shows that it is higher quality than other brands such as Pearl. Take a look inside the drum itself sometime, the shell is stronger, thicker, and the hardware overall is too.
I own a sonor kit it is the bomb!
Sonor SQ2 it's the best, incomparable... Top of the world! My list:
Sonor, Tama, Pearl, Yamaha, DW, Gretsh, Mapex...

8PDP
pdp have the best sound especially for metal the rev uses them and he was one of the best drummers of all time
R.I.P jimmy "The REV" sullivan
Great Quality build, warm tone, and have nice looks! The main part is the shell's durably and sound quality, hardware is not to bad!
9OCDP
I strongly recommend orange county drums they have amazing quality in durability, style, and best of all the sound is amazing. I put ont the evans g2 coated for toms, evans coated powercenter reverse dot on snare, evans emad on the kick, and some zildjian zxt cymbals its is phenomenal, youll never regret buying OCDP
If you have the money to spend on quality, expensive drums, go with OCDP. They sound great and give you a bang for every penny. They also have many custom paint jobs inspired by the great Travis Barker.

11Ludwig
I don't know how Ludwig is only 11. It was the first, and the best. No other drum set comes close. Even the Accent line sounds good. The only other brands that come close to Ludwig are Tama DW and Slingerland. But still not as good.
The best then. The best now.
