How to Buy a Full Drum Set
Are you looking into purchasing a full drum set? There are a number of models and brands of full drum kits to choose from for the beginner, intermediate, and professional. You can find acoustic drum sets that are fairly cheap in price to expensive high quality kits. Before purchasing, check out the determining factors regarding the reasons for acquiring a drum set.
Reason for buying a drum set
You might want to answer a few questions first before buying a set to make sure you are getting the right one. Will it be used as a hobby? Will the set be used for learning how to play? Are you buying this for your child? Will you be using the kit for gigs or recording? Are you looking for a set that is new or used?
Components of a full set of drums
A full set of drums may look different from one individual to another though it is probably safe to say a basic setup consist of a snare, one or two rack toms, floor tom, bass drum, single kick pedal, hi hat, ride cymbal, and two crashes (all hardware and stands included). You can add another floor tom or more rack toms, crash cymbals, extra kick drum or double bass drum pedal if so desired. Generally speaking, the number of drums in the setup will denote the size of the kit such as a four, five, or seven piece drum kit.
Cost
An important determining factor would be the amount you are willing to spend. Drum kits cost anywhere from 0 up to a custom built set of ,000 or more. Most sets do not come equipped with hardware such as cymbal stands, cymbals, and kick pedals which can add to the cost. So it is best figure out your reason for the purchase and all that you need to complete the full drum kit.
Where to buy a full drum kit
You can find drums at your local music store, from the newspaper, and through the internet. Some merchants may not carry used drums but you can still find great deals on both new and used kits.
Make sure when you make the purchase that you start with the basic setup and add to it if desired.
