Jax - I think you're looking at the Catalina Club "MOD", not the "JAZZ". Those Catalina Mod kits look so terrible, and they feel even worse in-person than the terrible pictures on the 'net. They are light, extremely light. The Catalina Club "JAZZ" sets are all rather sexy looking, and if you search them in Google or use eBay, you can see that there have been quite a few different finishes during different times for the Club JAZZ kits.
Audio - I hear ya on not wanting your clients or what have you beating the drums like that! Depending on the money-time ratio, it might not even be that big of a deal. Unless the session was super long OR the player hadn't the "proper" playing technique... you'd be hard pressed to SERIOUSLY damage most drum heads out there, even in a few shorter sessions. The snare drum might be the one you'd want to replace the most, with or without visible damage. If you had some coated heads on all toms and a Superkick II or an EMAD on the bass drum, they could even stand up to the most pissed-off, anxty, prepubescent basher for at least 1.3 recording sessions!
