For a studio kit...try landing yourself whatever good-to-great maple drums (for the "best" overall balance in tone) you can find with LOTS of drums. 6 toms of assorted sizes, maybe two different size kick drums, etc. Rather than trying to get an enormous tuning range out of 4 drums...just have 10 drums that you can move into and out of the kit as needed.
I also agree with having an assortment of VERY different sounding snare drums. Maybe a maple piccolo, a VERY deep birch drum, an aluminum Ludwig...
Don't forget cymbals. Some thick, some thin, most every size.
This route is often less expensive than buying two kits.
