What Drum Kit Should I Buy?

Hey, I've been playing drums for about a year now on my uncle's old Remo kit, and I'm looking for something intermediate, preferably around 500$.

I was looking at Ddrums D2, Ludwig's Pinnacle, Sonor Force 507 and Dixon's Chaos series.

None of these are supposed to have great cymbals, so I was planning on upgrading those later, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, Tim--

Check out this set:


Gretsch Drums Blackhawk 5-piece Euro Drum Set with 22" Bass Drum Standard

It does not come with cymbals but it has great hardware. You can get better cymbals in packs for a reasonable price. In the meantime, you could use the cymbals that you already have.

This is a much better drum set than one that comes with cymbals.
