Thanks everyone! I play rock, metal, funk, fusion, latin and anything that doesn’t have a name. The reason I’m asking for opinions is that I haven’t got a chance to test all of my kits in multiple scenarios. Mainly because I’ve been trying to save the expensive kits from potential damage. It’s funny how things work. You buy expensive drums and worry about them. You get cheap drums and beat the sh*t out of them and have fun

Keep the Tama then.
 
I'd keep the Tama, Ludwig, Sonor and Roland (if it fills a need).

I think that would cover me for various sizes and tones.

The Ludwig kit covers the small size and can double as a bop. The Tama covers the large kit, and the Sonor is silver sparkle!

My cheapo kits are top line kits I scored cheap .

That was the idea on the birch customs I got. I got them for a little over $1,200 and thought they could take the place of stage customs. Which would cost the same for a new 6 piece after taxes anyway. But thinking those are rare Japanese made drums, I wouldn’t be happy letting other people seat on them and play them like they’re someone else’s b**ch.

Someone else playing my kit is not something I have to worry about .
I can certainly understand having a cheap kit for those situations though ….
 
I’d just keep the Tama Bubinga

For the game:

Studio Queens: Tama & SQ2

Beaters: Yamaha Birch Abs and Ludwig CM

Without the aluminum diecast, they are just a birch

I believe they are the first generation, with no screws on the badges and before they started putting diecast hoops and advantage lugs on them. From what I’ve researched they are all referred to as YBCA.

I see, I believe those would be dyna hoops then. Otherwise, there have been a lot hoop swapping on this series to sell the hoops, I’ve only played the die cast version and they sound great.

Yes, they’re the dyna-hoops but honestly, they’re just 2.3mm triple flange hoops. Not sure if dyna-hoops are any different. Maybe they smile to them before they hit the button to flange them. LOL
 
Yamaha Birch because it has a 13" and many toms.
SQ2 because it's the highest quality workmanship.
Whatever kit has the best sounding kick drum (will guess Tama Babinga 22"). If it's one of the two above, only need two of em.
I am assuming you have a bunch of snares you use over the ones that may have come with the kits.
