for $500, what should I get. I want a 5-piece set with two cymbal stands. I don't need cymbals but I need a throne.

Thanks

i think you should buy pearl target series their 600 but their really worth it for a beginner drummer i dont know if you are but if you are then get those their greeat

I'm not rellly a beginner. I want something that sounds like a pro but doesn't cost as much.

I have a higher end ludwig set that was more than what we are talking money wise here but mine has a single post for the toms on the bass and there is a ludwig set that had 2 posts and was around 400 bucks
