Stoner rock band?
Probably Ludwig or Tama Superstar stuff.
Those Yammies were aimed more at folks looking for tone rather than volume.

Looks like I came too late. The set is already promised to somone who picks it up next week :(.
Maybe I am luck and that guy changes his mind but I dont think so.
Thanks again for your advice!
I may have found a nice 80s Tama Superstar though :D.

Ah that's a shame. You'll get a lot of fun out of those Supers.
Although, bear in mind what has been written here, and if you have the dough, and the Supers don't work out then I would say its worth hanging on and finding a set of 9000's somewhere else. They are fairly common.
Can I just add though, for Stoner Rock, IMHO, it has to be a big ole 60's/70's Slingerland kit.

Did you get the 9000 kit?
Those are great drums and literally the father of the recording custom. All birch shells and great hardware.
That model number is for the bass drum only. They continued the same numbering method with the RC line. BD for bass drum; 9 for 9000 (and later recording custom) line, and 24 for diameter. A is the standard line (standard depth) RC's have the RC suffix; the deeper "force" series have RF suffix. They had a "power" series which are what I call "square" toms- depth and diameter were equal. Not a good idea but cool in 1989 or so I guess. Not sure of that suffix- maybe RP?
Got off on a tangent there but those are great drums.
