I like my Yamaha Snare pitched high... Frankly, I don't like the 'normal' sound of marching snares. (don't hit me!)

But for basses, I played on some dynesty or whatever drums, and they were the best I've heard yet. :P

Yamaha makes a great set of quads. I'm probably biased, because that's what our school uses, but yeah. :P I didn't like them to start with, but now I think every other tenor sets I hear suck. Ours sound weird, almost like metal bowls (ring), but I like them all the same.

Snares:
1) Pearl
2) Yamaha
3) Dynasty

Any of 'em can be made to sound good if tuned correctly. I personally give Pearl a slight edge over Yamaha because of the extra snare guts (I like a slightly wetter sound) and the rim-fastened guard instead of Yamaha's 'feet'.

Dynasty's in a not-too-distant third because I've seen problems with the strainer assembly bending. (Not as bad as Premier's, though!)

Tenors:
1) Dynasty
2) Yamaha
3) Pearl

This is all about Dynasty's mounting frame. It's a well-designed system, keeping all of the drums -- including the spock -- perfectly aligned. Being able to adjust the drums' distance from the body is also a nice touch.

I like Yamaha tenors, too. One nice detail is the rims that curve inward instead of typical triple-flanged hoops. They really help keep the drums' bearing edges from getting chewed up by stray sticks.

There's nothing wrong with Pearl tenors, but I'm just not a huge fan of their super-deep shells. I 'grew up' on early '90s Yamahas, which just have a different sound. The closest tenor sound today to those Yamahas is probably Dynasty, which might be part of the reason I like 'em.

Basses:
1) Pearl
2) Yamaha
3) Dynasty

This one's really close. I like 'em all, assuming they're tuned well.

Tenors: Dynasty
