Cheap Drum Kits are Smart to Start you Drum Experience

By Oscar Acosta

If I was buying tools or clothing, I try to buy quality so it will last. As a beginner drummer, I bought a cheap drum kit and was glad I did. I did not have the money at the time to waste and would have regretted a big investment up front. I mainly wanted to try it out and learn to play the drums.

I can remember when I had an obsession for the first time to play the drums. Having been a rudiment drummer in my high school marching band, I knew a bit about the instruments. So, after years of taking a break from playing I was ready to get back to it. I was not mentally or financially prepared to ante up thousands of dollars or even several hundreds to satisfy my need to play.

Fortunately there were plenty of options to start out at a reasonable price range say, $250-$500. My original kit was used and fairly well worn in. I did not care since I was focused on learning to play and gauge my interest along the way before committing to big money on a really good sounding kit.

Target a mid to high end off brand or low end brand name drum kit. Cheap drum kits are in a reasonable price range here. Ludwig, DW, Gretch and Pearl are considered brand names among others. Purchasing a cymbal pack is the best value. Used cymbals are fine however inspect for any flaws or cracks.

Getting your mind right on what your going to invest in time, energy and money is very good at the start. Considering whether you are just playing solo, playing in a local band or pursuing a professional career, playing the drums is the coolest instrument.

An option that can make sense in the beginning is buying an electronic drum kit. Consider the customization of sound and the control of noise if you live in an apartment or neighborhood. It can be a good way to go even though the price can tend to be more than a cheap drum kit.

I highly recommend taking drum lessons. Either from a one on one instructor or choose one of the good DVD program online. You will not regret it. You save money on buying a cheap drum kit, now invest in your skills. You will enjoy playing more and it may ensure you stick with drumming. Your family will be glad for it and if you're really good the thousands of fans will appreciate it too. - 18780
