Drums FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)



Category: Main -> First Time Buyers

Question
·  What should I look for when buying my first drumset?
·  What if I can't afford a drumset? Will a practice pad be OK to start?
·  What brands do you carry for beginning level drums and what will I spend?

Answer
·  What should I look for when buying my first drumset?

Quality! We carry drumsets that start at $100. We don't neccessarily reccomend them, but they're available. What matters most to a first time buyer is HARDWARE and CYMBALS. Most drums in the $300 and up range tend to have quality drums, it's just everything else you need to worry about. Talking to one of our non commissioned specialists will always help.

·  What if I can't afford a drumset? Will a practice pad be OK to start?

Yes and no. While they will stimulate the mind and encourage drumming, it's only a matter of time before all four limbs need to express themselves percussively. To be on the safe side, have a pad for a month, but don't let that be the deciding factor as to whether or not you feel your child really wants to do it or not. Playing a full set of drums is a complete different excersize from hitting a rubber pad.

·  What brands do you carry for beginning level drums and what will I spend?

First off, BEWARE OF $200-300 complete drumsets! They are terrible, and a waste of money. We have access to them, but after talking to us, I GUARANTEE you will decide against it. For entry level drums, we carry Yamaha, Pearl, Premier, Sonor, Pacific, and Rockwood. The Rockwood kit is a lower level, while the others fall in the $600 range.
