It is not easy to find information on Arin's drum kit. I have seen on a photo of his kit he uses with Avenged Sevenfold and it looks like a Drum Workshop kit, (previously Pork Pie) that consistists of some of the following:2 x 22" Bass drums12", 13", 14" Mounted toms16" and a 18" floor tom14" x 6 1/2" Snare3 x Other types of drums (I can't really recognize it on the photo)Arin uses a range of about 13 x Paiste TRX cymbals. Although at the Rock Am Ring in 2011, and other performances such as UPROAR 2011 he used Zildjian A Customs.As soon as I have more info, I will update this answer.

There is no set price its what you want in a drum kit, make, size of kit, accessories etc.
