Tips on Finding a Good Beginner Drum Kit

By: Adriana Noton

Whether you're a kid who has finally graduated from banging the pots and pans or a teen or adult whose finally about to learn the instrument they've always dreamed of, it's important to get a good sounding kit that's built to last. However, beginners have to consider that they may not stick with the instrument and may not want to invest a ton of money at first. These are the main considerations to balance against each other. Otherwise, here are some really helpful tips to make sure your first kit is a good one.

The first thing is just stick to the basics. Your typical kit consists of a bass drum, two tom toms, a snare, hi-hat, and cymbals. You don't need much else! While it is true that each piece can be considered its own instrument, most drummers use this collection of drums and if you want to sound like them you'll need them too. Some beginner sets even include sticks and a drum seat. This is obviously good, but don't do it unless the kit is sufficiently good!

In the end, more money gets you better equipment. Typically there's a choice between two price brackets the beginner faces: you can select the cheapest drums in order to see if it's something you'll stick with and be resolved to invest more money a little bit down the road if need be. The other option is investing a bit more off the bat and being assured of having a quality instrument to try. This is preferable because as a beginner, you may be blame yourself for the poor quality sound you're producing when really it's the low quality of the instrument. Having a sturdy, reliable drum set benefits the beginner who doesn't really know how to take care of their kit yet. But, on the other hand, perhaps these attributes will not even be noticed by the novice.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that an all inclusive beginner package of drums are all of one quality. It's extremely possible that the snare is decent but the cymbals are bad, or some other combination. If there's an element in the pack that's of lower quality don't buy it. Try and mix and match. Another consideration is perhaps you're a kid who's about to learn and you're wondering what size drums to buy. If you're really young, or just really small, definitely buy a smaller kit. They're usually inexpensive and will offer you a chance to see if drums are for you. But if you're at that age when you're starting to grow a bit it's ok to buy a set that's a little too big for you at the time, giving you room to grow into them. This will ensure you don't need to quickly replace them. Of course, if they're too big to be played on then you'll get turned off and never want to play. In the meantime, good luck on the search and with the sticks!
