I got my tour custom kit for 550 used at Guitar Center after a 15% off coupon for a one weekend only sale. It came in a fusion configuration (10-12-16 inch toms) and my previous kit was a Ludwig Accent in the standard (12-13-16) configuation. My kit is dark blue, and they don't offer the 13 inch tom in dark blue, so I bought the natural wood color because I figured it would blend into anything, and I was right. It looks very nice with the dark blue, and I would imagine that it would look great with just about any other color. As far as sound goes, the Tour Custom toms in general are very deep sounding drums. The sound has a lot of body and low end to it that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. People will say that the wood used in these drums is softer Asian maple and it doesn't sound as good as rigid North American maple, but I disagree. I've played very expensive DW maple kits, and this kit definitely measures up. Some people will also say that maple doesn't record well, and I say they're not using the right microphones. I record this kit using SM57's, and boundary condenser mic for the kick and eventually I'm going to get a Rode NT1000 for overhead and it sounds beautiful. In my opinion, there really aren't any better drums for the price you pay for these.
These tom's sound wonderful. The maple creates very warm tones, and the low end is definitely notable. I played this tom with a coated emperor batter and a clear ambassador resonant. I would recommend this in a hearbeat. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because I couldn't justify buying a tour custom kit over a stage custom kit which is cheaper and sounds the same, as I have owned both. Heads and tuning will really effect the sound.
