Well I just spent some time in the Guitar Center store that had both the Toca Elite and the LP Matador drums--all of which were tuned pretty low, which is typical in the store.
I'm definitely casting my vote for either of these drums--no real preference. I spent more time playing with the Matadors--mostly because I have LPs and JC had recommended them. I have to say I thought they both sounded crisper than my Giovannis--maybe because the room was 'harder' than my overdamped bedroom. But these were, I believe, all the drum that anyone would ever NEED, regardless of skill level.
This of course is an opinion of someone with less than 7 months of total hand percussion experience--so keep that in mind!!
