The Infamous Drum Set!
The Drum set is a very fun and very interesting instrument to learn. It is one of the most popular for sure. When it comes to drumming, you get to hit things, smack things, keep a beat and do really cool fill ins and solos! When you are first getting into the art of drumming, getting a proper set can be quite important. For a beginner drummer, learning how to choose your drums, drum sticks , and drum cymbals can seem a bit challenging but as you learn it will become easier. Another fun fact about the drums is that it is one instrument that can have a lot of accessories added to it like protective cases, drum shields, micing, extra cymbals, extra toms, more bass pedals, more hi hats and a bunch of other stuff. It's expandable to your desire! So with that in mind, how do you choose the right drum set? Choosing The Right Drum Set
There are so many different sets out there. Take a look at a bunch of different Drum set pictures if you don't know what they look like. Learning to choose the right set for you is important because if you don't know what to look out for, you can end up spending more than what you originally intended.
If you already know what you want, check to see if we have a review on your kind of set. Ask Yourself These Questions
1. Am I a beginner? Not in a band? Just starting out and wanting something to practice with at home?....
2. I am a beginner but I am in a band and we want to do gigs when we get good enough. Get a beginner set unless you choose to go for a more expensive kit, but a beginner set can still do the trick. The only that I would recommend is to change the drum cymbals to at least a Sabian B8 or Zildjian ZBT. Those would be a good set of starting cymbals. To find those kind of cymbals just type the names just as I have written them in at any online music store such as www.musiciansfriend.com, or www.americanmusicalsupply.com, it will pop up. Do you need a Smaller Compact Sized Set? Are you planning to turn your drum set into a really big set?
3. For a Child between the ages of 3-8 years old see Kids drum sets. You can also see other Sets for kids. 
4. I am an beginner or intermediate drummer who has been playing for awhile, I want a set that will sound good for playing in a band, in settings like concerts, clubs, out doors etc. My band gets paid to play. I would get a Semi Professional set if I were you because the hardware lasts longer and the sound is much better than with beginner drum sets. If you feel like going the extra mile try out a professional set. Your getting paid, so you'd want to sound good, you and your set. It is up to you whether you'd want to add a double bass pedal, or just keep the standard single pedal set it just depends on you and your kind of music. Do Jazz sessions? Spice it up with a semi-professional fusion or jazz set, they look nice and sound nice!
