Ideal Kit Specifications

Here is a bit of dreaming about my ultimate drum kit. All of the drums are the same 6-ply thickness except for the kick, which would be 8-ply thick. I would tension the heads medium-tight before commencing tuning. I prefer medium weight uncoated heads on the toms and kick and a medium weight coated head on the batter side of the snare. I have recently purchase a new Pearl Sensitone Elite Beaded Brass Snare with black nickel plated finish which I am very happy with. I would also love to get a Craviotto Solid Shell Snare Drum or a GMS 20th Anniversary Snare, as they are both my ultimate snares.
So what would my ultimate kit setup be?
