Ludwig Vistalite, Premier, or Boom Theory?

Question

I am shopping for a drum set. The ones I have had in the past have been, well, crappy. I am looking in the local classified ads and I have found some that look pretty good but I want to know if they are higher level (professional level or at least not entry level) sets. My choices so far are:

Blue Lugwig Vistalite set with a gibralter rack, cymbals, but no snare - $900

Orange Premier 5 piece with Pig Pie Percussion snare and cymbals (hi hats, +5 Zildjian A) - $1200

Boom Theory acoustic style 5 piece electronic drums with cymbals and Roland TD-8 Module. - $1500

Which set sticks out as the best and which is the best deal (best for the money AKA best sound or resale if necessary)?

I can email pictures too, if you email me.

Answer 1

Also check out :

Tama, DDrum and Yamaha kits too.

Those are also good kits too.

I've had a 8" x 14" Ludwig snare before and it was the best I ever had. So yes...Ludwig is definitely good stuff.

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

The Premier set sounds like the best deal but only because the Ludwig kit has no snare, you would probably pay $400 or more for a used Ludwig snare drum , like a 400 or 402 or a black beauty.Sorry but I've never heard of Boom Theory. Sound wise I'd go with the Ludwig's --- John Bonham, say no more.(is it a 26 inch Bass drum ?)
