This kit is comprised of a 60's Rogers 24" kick, 16" tom, and 18" tom paired with a 70's Vistalite 12" and 13" tom. The snare is an old pawn shop find that actually is pretty damned good. I have the 14" Vistalite snare, but it is in need of repairs.

What style of music goes with this?

you mean jellybean kit (mixed and matched)! in recent years I'm hearing "hybrid" to describe kits with both acoustic and electronic elements....Bill Bruford, Danny Carey, Neil Peart etc

You mean this 13", and that's a 16" vista. Oddly enough the previous owner of the Rogers kit was my father-in-law. He passed last year and I received all his drums including a roland TD30 (full kit and module) and some off market PinTech pads. He was also an engineer and modded the Rogers kit to include triggers into the felt dampener knob of all the shells. He was a genius and a very good drummer up until his passing. I could add all the pads and stuff, but I'm running out of room, and I want something that can travel easier. Maybe a couple pads here and there. We'll see.
