Man, you guys are encylopedic in your knowledge. Very helpful.

Thanks for the info about the Aquarian heads, SkyDog75. If I decide to keep this kit, that will be my next purchase.

Thanks Kev, for your post. No offense taken. I'm getting a range of opinions. Others have told me no less than $1500, though that was without knowing about the holes in the bass drum. I looked at the extra rims that came with the kit and they look like they're the COB sticksavers.

I'm not looking to rip anyone off - nor am I looking to be ripped off. Just looking for a fair price. I'll negotiate.
