Nice sounding drumsets that are on sale for below $300?

Question

I don't have a lot of money, and I've been using some drums at my school, so I'm not really a beginner. Should I get a junior drum set because I'm really small. I'm 4 foot 9. They don't have to be on sale. I just said that because there's a lot of them on sale because of christmas.

Answer 1

I've looked at drum sts a lot for a few years with a view to buying myself and found the following:



Cheaper kits have cumbals that sound like someone made them out of an old biscuit tin if your lucky (if you unlucky thay are an old buiscuit tin!)



Cheaper kits have fixings and stuff that wear out really fast and break if you move them around much.



Also the drums just dont sound right with cheap kits for more than about the first 1/2 hour you ever use them. Buy a cheap new kit and I can pretty much promise you will give up in 3 months as you will be so frustrated at your drums.



Bear in mind that some decent skins like Remo can cost near $200 for top quality.



So heres how I got round it:



First off keep looking at small ads etc as occasionally drum kits come up silly cheap.



Secondly you could do what I did - look for a cheap but decent base snare and high hat, Thats enough to practice the basic stuff and some of the intermediate stuff. Your not spreading your money out so much so can get a better bass foot pedal etc and decent high hat.



There is one other alternative that might suit you - get a second hand electronic drum kit. some of those go as cheap as $300 for a 1/2 decent kit. The advantage of those is that you will not need sound offs to not annoy the neighbors for 3 blocks as the only place you can hear it is your head phones.

Answer 2

Firstly, just because you used some kits at school doesn't mean you're not really a beginner.



Englyshe As She Is Spoke is obviously not a drummer so ignore what they said



I bought a second hand CB drums drum kit from eBay for about $300 (very much a beginners kit) about nine years ago and have only recently decided I need a new one (I'm buying a mapex saturn for about $1500 - a LOT of saving up, but worth it)



The hardware on ANY drum kit, cheap, beginner or not, will NOT wear out really fast as long as you don't mistreat or abuse it.



With decent heads (which usually come as standard on all kits), and good tuning (you have to be patient) you can make any kit sound alright.

If you really want to play drums, then you definitely won't give up in 3 months because you'll stick at it even if your kit sounds bad.



But try to buy a full kit as just a kick snare and hat will really limit your creativity and what you can achieve.



Don't buy an electronic kit - they just aren't worth it

Answer 3

I see where your coming from, but I consider the primary factor is that they'd be ok in the event that they might devour and live on with out doing it at my cost of the cost of a different organism. Considering that they're a parasite, they can not. It is simplest typical to want to get rid of matters that wish to damage you, since you would flip this around and say that they are in no position to feed off of other living matters. I imply, your mind-set is how I feel of many things, including most bugs, which aren't harming us and for this reason will not be killed. Why can we squish ants after we don't ought to? I think making use of this reasoning to fleas is a bit bit some distance just on account that they're parasites, and that i suppose that we might recollect it a matter of self safeguard, especially on the grounds that they are able to raise disorder. Possibly if the relationship was mutual or commensalistic (one advantages, the other is unaffected) then it will be distinctive, although the human race appears to simply wish to stomp on some thing they may be able to anyway just to show that they're superior.
