Question

Whats a good drum kit for a beginner to get?

Answer 1

When it comes to drums, a few names stand out, but Ludwig may be the best known brand. For a beginner, its important to keep both cost and quality in mind, as well as the sound of the drums and the style. Something like the 5-piece Accent CS Power Drum set is perfect for those just starting out drumming. Its affordable, but has an unmatched sound and quality construction. Plus, its Ludwig, which is, well, pretty awesome.



When buying your first drum set, remember to include things like drum sticks, a throne and hardware, and read up on how to assemble the kit. Best of luck!

Answer 2

If you really want to go straight to a drumset, I love my Tama Imperialstar. It's only $700 with cymbals included. Just change the heads and you'll be fine. Put some Remos on it and it'll sound great. Hope I helped.

Answer 3

I would say get a pair of sticks and a drum pad first. Work on your rudiments. I started playing in competition when I was 13. Rudiments are everything. If you can keep a beat on a drum pad, then you can upgrade to a snare drum. Then a snare drum, high hat, 1 symbol, a base drum with a kick pedal and 1 tom. Then you just keep adding things as you get better. As for what type, I'd start with something you can afford. Most good drummers are poor unloved kids with anger to work off. Always start with the basics. Drum pad and drum sticks first. If you still like it after practicing for 6 months 2 hours a day, then you get a drum. When I started playing, I didn't get to touch a drum until my second year of playing. Then I was given a crummy drum. As I got better, so did my drum and my sticks. When it comes to kits, you have to find the sounds you like. All of them have different sounds because of the materials. I'm a guitarist now. If I had the chance to own a kit, I'd assemble one with sounds I like. I like kevlar head double snares for a sharp crack with a maple insert, since that was what I played on and you had to have perfect timing to sound good on it. You can go crazy with symbols and toms. The first drum I loved was a Premier HTS-200. (High tension snare). I wasn't much of a fan of Ludwigs. Pearl came out with a well sounded HTS as well about 14 years ago. When it comes to bass drums for a kit, I've always loved Peal's vintage oval double bass. It had a unique sound and is quite unusual. I always liked drumming with go-gos. You can make your own drums out of buckets, like we did.
