Someone had to say it. Might as well be me.
Metal shell drums if you can stand the ringiness are loud at the expense of having good tone.
No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

I can second the vote for six-ply Luddies--they're great mic'ed or un. I'm working on an early '70s pearl wood-Fiberglass kit now that I'm curious to hear in that very setting.
Currently playing for loud rock and roll gigs:
1982 Ludwig Classic in white Cortex, 24-13-14-18 + Coliseum snare
For quieter gigs:
Early '70s Whitehall Tiger Eye Pearl 20-12-14-14
Neglected but thinking about:
Early '70s Sonor Champions in Rosewood, 22-12-13-16
1982 Ludwig Classic in white Cortex, 24-13-14-18 + Coliseum snare

Oh, and make those Luddies big. My rock kit's a 24" kick, 12x13 and 13x14 rack toms, and a 16x18 floor tom paired with a Coliseum snare.

A vendor had some carbon fiber drums at the Chicago show years back,and you could hear them over EVERYTHING in the show!
Rob Cook told him to leave actually,as they were so loud!

LOL - Silver Sparkle...
I've not played these at a gig, just goofing around with a friends some time back... Pearl's fiberglass coated interiors... wow! Huge noise from them. Also the solid fiberglass kits. I owned an A. F. Blaemire (think that's how it's spelled) fiberglass kit from the 70's. Those were some LOUD drums. Sold 'em... they weigh a ton.
