Drums.....?!
Question: I have a cheap drum set at home thats basically trash now. i went to a music store and they have a tama imperialstar for 500$ including Sabian B8 cymbals and hardware. I was recommended the Mapex M Birch for 800-900$ but i think its probably the same quality is the tama. Do you think the imerialstar is a good buy or are there any other sets you can recommend in this price range. This is for an intermediate drummer.

I would DEFINATELY recommend the M Birch over the imperialstar anyday. If you already had a beginner set then don't waste your money on another one with crappy cymbals. The M Birch is a great quality intermediate drum kit that sounds a MILLION times bette\r, I realize that money may be an issue but even if you need to use your current cymbals for a few months until you can save up to buy good quality cymbals (i just bought one every 2 months for a year and now I have an incredible line up), it would be worth it. you would be very surprised the difference good quality instruments can make.
If you are looking for a cymbal pack I would recommend the following (in order)(they are expensive but will save you the job of matching the right cymbals up):

Go with the imperialstar
