Posting this for a friend who does not frequent forums.
He is a professor at Cornell University who actually gigs more than me hah.
He is looking for a drum set with an 18x14 bass drum, 12x8, 14x14 and snare.
He has $1000 - $1200 to spend. He is looking at Gretsch Catalina but I told him I would post here and DFO and cymbalholic.com
He likes vintage, used or slightly new....I think a new Catalina is in his price range.
Doesn't need hardware...just shell kit.
