Hey guys, Drumbob is giving me a great deal on one of these kits. The Slingerland is 13,16,22 in a sky blue pearl finish. The second is a Tama Swingstar 12,13,16,22, re-wrapped in white satin flame. Of course the Tama is much cheaper. I don't really need a second kit, but I want one. I can't decide.

Wait! You only have one drum set? From reading your many posts, I have gotten the impression that you must have several drum sets that you keep buying/selling/trading/whatever. My opinion is that the Slingerland set is much better of the two drum sets. That single set-o-matic tom holder is a real versatile piece of hardware.
No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

I have but one kit at the moment, the Ludwig bop. I do buy and trade drums, but I've decided to have a keeper and a second to deal with.
I'm with you, the Slingerland is no doubt a better kit, but it's also $400 more.

My vote is for the Slingerland! But, yes, $400 more is a big chunk of change!

What year is the Slingy set? Does it look to be "born together"? If the Tama is $400 and the Slingerland is $800, that might be a fair price depending on the age and condition.

I played one of those era/style Tama kits for years and I still have my Slingerland kit. The Tama was pretty solid but between the two, I'd go for the Slingerland every time.
