Key Features
The BDK 1 Full Size Starter Drum Kit by Gear4music, Black is a complete setup for beginners ready to get behind the kit. You get five full size drums, 14" hi hats, a 16" crash/ride, hardware, a padded stool, and drumsticks, giving you everything you need to get set up and start playing. Poplar shells give the drums a deep, mellow sound that works nicely across rock, pop, and plenty of other styles.
And there's lots to explore with the steel cymbals, whether you're practising crisp hi hat patterns or adding some extra attack to a chorus. Double braced stands keep everything well supported as you play, while the height adjustable stool helps you settle into a comfortable position. It's all set up to help you learn the basics, build your coordination, and keep progressing as your drumming develops.

Getting your first drum kit sorted doesn’t need to be complicated. The BDK 1 gives you all the pieces you’ll need to start learning, including a 22" bass drum, 12" and 13" rack toms, a 16" floor tom, and a 14" snare. That gives you plenty of room to practise your first beats and fills before moving on to more involved parts. You’ve also got 14" hi hats and a 16" crash/ride for working on timing, accents, and dynamics. Rock, pop, or something else entirely, there’s plenty here to get stuck into.
Poplar shells give every drum a deep, mellow character, providing a versatile starting point while you discover how you like to play. The different drum sizes give you a useful spread of pitches for learning fills and experimenting with patterns around the kit. Plus, the poplar construction is made to handle the repeated hits that naturally come with practising. As your coordination improves, you can start putting the whole kit to work and exploring how each drum fits into your grooves.
Cymbals can make a big difference to the feel of a drum part, and the included steel set gives you plenty to experiment with. The 14" hi hats produce a crisp sound that’s useful for keeping time, practising accents, and getting to grips with syncopated beats. Your 16" crash/ride adds another layer of variety. Play it gently for more sustain and shimmer, or give it a firmer strike when you want extra rasp and attack. This means you can start learning about dynamics early on and hear how changing your playing technique can change the character of a groove.
A good setup should feel secure while you concentrate on playing. The BDK 1 includes double braced hi hat, cymbal, and snare stands, giving the kit sturdy support during practice. There’s also a padded, height adjustable drum stool, so you can find a seating position that feels comfortable for you. An adjustable bass drum beater lets you set up the pedal to suit your playing, while the included drum key gives you what you need for adjustments. You’ll even find a pair of 5B drumsticks in the box, alongside the drum skins and necessary fittings, so you can get set up and start making some noise.
Music is for everyone, so we’re making it easier for you to start playing. Backed by our years of professional experience, the Gear4music range gives you access to a vast collection of instruments, audio gear and accessories. Produced ethically and responsibly, they're suitable for every musical interest while meeting the expectations of a caring world. There’s never been a better time to start making music.
