What is a good drum set to get and how much does it cost?

Question

I wanna learn playing drums and I was wondering what a good drum set is. I would like to play either alternative, punk/ska, or indie rock.

Answer 1

Also check out DDrum kits too. They are pretty cool.

Also check out the Tama Imperistar star kit for $700.

It comes with a set of Meinl cymbals ( Hi hats, a Ride, a Crash and China cymbal) with it too.

or you can find these sets on Ebay too. I agree pawn shops are good too...So are second hand thrift stores too. They do have drum sets once in a while...but you really have to look for them. Hope this helps....good luck

Answer 2

Search local pawn shops!

Or check music stores when they're on sale.

Pawn Shops are a good place to start if you want to be a beginner and work your way up.  Plus you can get them even cheaper if you know how to haggle!

Good Luck!

Answer 3

HI-

if you aren't sure how seriously you want to do this, don't break the bank.

Craigslist is probably the best place to go.

If you are serious (I mean it) The Pearl Export is an outstanding kit for a beginner/intermediate. I used one on several gigs when I first started out. Also, the TAMA Rockstar (stupid name) is a good kit for serious beginners.

For somebody unsure of their future, look into a kit by Pacific drums.

I would avoid the pawn shops until you know what you're looking at. That is, you'll get it home and it will sound like c**p.

Go to a local drum shop or guitar center and plead your case.

THANK YOU FOR DRUMMING......

Answer 4

I'm not sure about brands but check the pawn shops in your area, you can get an entire setup for a quarter of the original cost.
