1. I'm looking at buy a new drum kit. I have about $1000 to spend. I've been looking at the Gretsch Catalina kits. I've never owned anything Gretsch. Anybody have any feedback. I'm also looking at Yamaha, Pearl, and Tama kits in the 800-1000 dollar range.
2. What do they mean buy shell kit. I go to some of the online stores and I see drum kits for sale, or shell kits. I've been drumming for 25 yrs. and I'm lost on this one.
3. What's the difference between the DW turbo drum pedals, and the Accelerator pedals.
4. What's the difference between birch shell, and maple shells. I'm assuming it's just preference, but is there any difference in quality?

shell kit means, it's only the drums, no hardware or cymbals whatsoever, and about the wood, it's a little about preference, mi kit is birch, even thought it's only an entry kit it sound quite good, i dont know about the sound qualities of maple but i've heard with maple it's VERY hard for your drums to go out of round, and thats a great advantage if you live in a humid place, or a place with extremist weather, even thought it shouldnt be a problem unless you will have it in the outside, which is very unlikely, i dont have any answer for your other questions but i hope to have helped you at least a little

Thanks, I kind of wondered if that's what shell kit meant but I wasn't sure.

Buy the set that you like, don't worry about what it's made from.
I'm a Ludwig guy, but I've owned Rogers and Slingerland drums. I never once asked what type of wood they were made from.
If you can tune, you can make almost any drums sound good.
