The biggest difference I see are as follows:
The PDP comes with an additional rack tom, and is 250$ cheaper.
I greatly prefer the OCDP blue finish.
I like the sizes on the OCDP kit better.
From reviews I've read the OCDP kit is at best average for a maple kit.
Any opinions or information about these 2 kits would be greatly appreciated.
