    Not sure I know what you mean... are you referrring to shell sizes, like a fusion kit, that kind of thing?

    Other than that, there is no difference I am aware of other than the main difference between a studio kit and a standard kit being that the studio kit has been tuned and sounds good.

    I was thinking of getting a new kit off the web and there were two different kinds of the same kit Yamah Gigmaker Standard and
    Yamah Gigmaker studio and I was just wondering what the difference between them were

    They're just branding distinctions. As the doc said, there are no specific or consistent differences between kits for studio use or live use. A live kit might be more of compromise between road-worthiness and sound etc. but that's rarely a deliberate design distinction and I really don't think that's what the manufacturer would be referring to in this case. Pearl used to have a "Studio" edition Masters kit, which was birch rather than maple or mahogany, and had tom mounts in the kick which the maple and mahogany did not. Which was somewhat funny, since that part should have been the other way around.

    As a pointless bit of trivia, Cubase Studio 4 is a slightly stripped down version of the full Cubase 4. Appending the word "studio" to something is just branding for the most part.

    Similar to Gibson and their Studio models. It's generally used as a cheaper model designation.

    I just checked on the Thomann website and it looks like the standard has basswood shells and the studio only has a wood shelled snare. It doesn't say what the rest of the drums on the studio kit are made of. :confused:

    I ain't a drummer so it's probably best emailing Thomann and asking them. The Studio kit seems to be exclusive to them.

    Kegger, It's to do with the sizes of the shells, nothing more
    Studio are smaller shells..
