help i don't know what kinds of drums sets to get!?

Question

i've been trying to find out what kinds of drums sets are good for me, but theres all these sets like 3 piece, 4 piece, 5 piece,and 6 piece , and i don't wanna end up with a kiddie drum set from walmart,help me make a good decision i would appreciate it

Answer 1

A 4 piece is a good drum set and is pretty much the standard now for general music. This will include a snare, bass drum, tom drum, floor tom. You may have to buy the cymbals, and cymbal stand seperately as well as a thrown and a pedal. Don't be fooled, you NEED a drum throne, even if it is a cheap one, just a regular old chair will not cut it.

If you just want to get down to playing some beats and are a beginner you could just buy a set hi hi hat cymbals, hi hat cymbal stand, snare, and a bass drum. Those are the 3 essential pieces in a drum kit.

One night at practice the drummer in my band busted his tom drum and only played with hi hats, snare, floor tom, and a bass drum. He sounded just as good as with a full kit. The point is....the kit doesn't matter, its what you can do with the kit that counts.

Answer 2

Either Mapec or Taye seem to be good, our drummer uses both and they sound great. Basic set = bass, snare, double toms, floor tom, hi hat, 2 crash, 1 ride, don't forget the stool, cymbal stands and bass speed pedal. Sticks, cow bell, drum head key. Either Zildjan or Paiste brand cymbals are the best.
