Beginner Drum Sets, what to look out for?
Contrary to what you may have been told, it is possible to enter the world of percussion and find a good quality drum sets without spending thousands of dollars. Drum equipment is available in various quality levels to suit the needs of everyone. You simply need to understand your percussion needs, and then know what to look for.
If you have an elementary student interested in joining the school instrumental program, you can generally purchase a single starter snare drum, on a snare drum stand and a pair of light weight drum sticks for a minimum investment. If you are sensitive to the "noise," a beginner drummer often makes, portable practice pads are also available. These make it possible for your young drummer to practice for hours, and you will never hear them. You can even purchase an entire drum set of practice pads simulating a total drum set including cymbals, for the young rocker to rock out and not disturb the rest of the house. Remo produces good practice pads and practice sets.
For those of you thinking of purchasing a complete drum set, several questions should be considered before making this decision.
While it is possible to "save" money on the initial purchase by buying a "cheaper" drum set, it could cost you money in the long run. Not only will a higher quality drum set produce better sounds and tones for your young rock star to get started with, it will also last longer and give you a better resale opportunity should he or she decide to trade up later. You can find quality starter drum sets at affordable prices. If you decide not to continue, you can also sell these drum sets later.
The price of a drum set is determined by the quality, hardness and thickness of the drum shell, and the durability of the hardware. The harder the wood and the more durable the hardware, the more the drum set will cost. Later in the drumming life, different woods, and how they are layered together, produce different types of sounds such as Jazz, Classical, Rock…. For now, stick to the basics of a solid wood a durable hardware.
Not often thought about, but equally important is the throne, or drum stool that the drummer will be sitting on while they play. They come in many heights and sizes. You want to make sure that you purchase a throne that is comfortable, and adjustable. Many thrones also offer back support if desired. The wrong throne can result in discomfort, difficulty play or difficulty reaching the drums. A simple kitchen chair will not do the trick because the throne needs to "spin" as the drummer moves around the drum set.
Now for the drum sticks. A young drummer will want a light weight pair of sticks. Something that is easy for them to control. We recommend something made from Hickory that is a 5A or 5B size.
Finally the new drummer will need cymbals. Usually a starter kit may include a Hi-Hat, one crash cybal and one ride cymbal. We often want more, but this will get any new drummer started. Again, you will find that there are thousands of variations. The difference between these cymbals are often personal choices, quality, durability, and if they were "hand hammered." For now, it's best to stick to a starter pack. Almost all brands offer at least one starter pack, and they are usually to most affordable option. This will give the young drummer the opportunity to determine if he or she wants a specific sound, and what it may be.
