Stage Custom Standard -NW : Best drumset I ever had. And not the most expensive!

SO far this is my 4th drumset. I have owned 2x Mapex and 1 Sonor sets.

Sonor was the most expensive and the most dissapointing of them. I'm not "uberproffessional" as in "I play big venues every week " but I've been gigging for 10 years now. I don't need the top tier stuff. It has to be semi-pro and work well. Yamaha has everything: looks good, sounds good, hardware is the best. Btw - one thing you usually want to get rid of is the factory snare. NOT THIS ONE! It's a good snare! Which makes this set absolute winner in every category. Birch is considered bit harsh on the attach side. So I opted for coated heads - result is very good to my ears. Highly recommended. For this price it's ridiculously good.
