I’m a TAMA devotee. They make incredible drums without the insane price tag of some of the ‘premium’ brands out there. My Imperialstar was incredible and lasted me well into my intermediate/veteran playing. If you put some nice skins on that and whack an EMAD on the bass drum, it’s a hard sound to top.

The rest were X-tras sizes on toms, one inch short of square: 11x10, 12x11, 13x12, 14x13, 15x14 [diam x depth]. These are easier to tune than fully square sizes.
