About Beginner & Starter Drum Kits

Drumming is an exciting and versatile pursuit that has been enjoyed by people for centuries. With a rich history dating back to ancient civilisations, drums have been used in many cultures as a means of communication, ceremony, and entertainment. Today, drums serve as one of the most popular choices for musicians of all ages and skill levels.

When it comes to selecting a beginner drum set, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, the materials used to make the drums are important. Drum shells can be made from various materials like wood, metal, or acrylic, each having different acoustic and tonal properties. For example, drums made from maple or birch tend to produce a warm and full sound, while drums made from steel have a brighter and more cutting tone.

Another factor to consider when choosing a beginner drum set is the age of the player. Junior drum kits are designed specifically for younger players, with smaller drum sizes and shorter hardware. These kits are ideal for children between the ages of 3 and 10 years old. Full-size beginner drum sets are suitable for older children, teenagers, and adults.

One great option for beginner drummers is the Pearl Export kit. This kit is made with poplar and Asian mahogany shells, which gives it a well-rounded sound with a warm tone. The hardware is double-braced, making it sturdy and durable for long-term use. Another good choice is the Mapex Tornado kit, which features poplar wood shells and includes cymbals, stands, and a drum throne.

Overall, a beginner drum set can provide a fantastic introduction to drumming at any age. With the right materials and design, these sets offer a quality playing experience while remaining affordable and accessible.

FAQs

What should a beginner drummer buy?

A beginner drummer should consider buying a starter drum kit that includes a snare drum, bass drum, hi-hat cymbals, and at least one tom-tom drum. They should ensure the kit is complemented with drumsticks, a drum throne (seat), and instructional materials for effective learning.

How much should I spend on a beginner drum kit?

Beginner drum sets typically cost between $244 and $732, but prices can range higher for better quality components. It's important to consider the balance between affordability and quality as investing in a better quality set will provide a longer-lasting and more enjoyable playing experience.

What is the most basic drum kit?

A three-piece drum kit is the most basic type of drum set available. It consists of a bass drum, snare drum, and one tom-tom. This type of kit is ideal for beginners or those with limited space as it is compact and easy to set up.
