Peeps. I'm a beginning drummer looking to get a kit for the above mentioned styles.....think dry, punchy, tight - Roy Ayers, Chic, EWF, Harvey Mason etc.

I thought about asking on the Pearl forum but, let's face it, that place is full of drummers!

What would be a good new kit to get? Budget isn't really an issue, though I'm wary of spending too much and ending up with a Dave Weckl sound

.

Also I'm sure the guys on those funky-assed records back in the 70's weren't all playing on top-o-the range kits (or maybe they were? - you tell me)

I'd like to buy something new as I'm a bit scared of buying a lemon (being inexperienced and all).

Lastly, I'm looking for a good studio sounding kit (if that means anything to anyone!)

cheers!
