This post is basically just for you to share your opinion on which brands/companies (Yamaha, Dynasty, Pearl, etc.) make the best of each type of drum (snare, tenor, bass). I'm only going to use the big 3, but you're welcome to post other companies like Premier and Ludwig if you see fit. And by the way, I only have first-hand experience with Yamaha, so the rest is just based on what I've heard in videos, etc.

Snare:
1. Yamaha
2. Dynasty and Pearl (two different sound that I like equally)

Tenor:
1. Dynasty
2. Pearl
3. Yamaha

Bass:
1. Pearl
2. Yamaha
3. Dynasty

Feel free to add other things like pit instruments, cymbals, etc. if you want.

Man i think premier and ludwig get a bum rap sometimes. I like both of those brand's snares but anyway.

Tenors-dynasty
Snare-Pearl
Bass- Pearl

That would be my top pick. But i do like the premier snares. The "pow" sound you get is pretty cool

tenor-Dynasty. theyre the only ones who offer an 8 inch spock drum that you can actually tell the difference in tones. plus the wide variety in color finishes can really make a drumline look rockin.

snare-Dynasty. the double snare effect on their drums just sound great. and once again, the color range is good.

bass-well, im not so sure on bass drums. im not really a bass player. and i dont know much about bass playing and tuning and all that good stuff, so i really have got nothing for ya there.

and a side note- zildjian makes great cymbals.

Snare-Yamaha (MTS)
Tenor-Dynasty
Bass-Toss up between Pearl and Yamaha
Cymbals-Zildjian

This would be much better if this was a poll...... But anyway, I haven't played with all those companies' drums....

Snare-Yamaha
Tenor-Yamaha
Bass-Dynasty
Cymbal-(marching)Sabian (conert) Zildjan

As a bass drummer, having played both on pearl and yamaha drums, I feel that the quality of pearl drums are much higher. The sound quality is a big difference too.

Oh and by the way, Zildjan rules the cymbal world, marching and concert

snares - Yamaha
tenors - Dynasty
bass - Pearl

Snares - Ludwig
Tenor - Pearl
Bass - Yamaha
Pit - Yamaha mallets, Ludwig Tympani
Cymbals - Zildjian or Sabian (there both the same recipe).

snare- its a toss up between the yamaha sfz and the pear championship series ffx
tenors- pearl (the only ones ive played on)
Bass- pearl championship series
