Buying A Drum Set

For the very first time, purchasing a drum set can be an overwhelming experience. Drum sets come with a wide variety of components and budgets, making it difficult to choose what you need from what you don’t and to understand the differences between drum set brands and cost choices.

The most important factors to consider when obtaining a drum set are brand, cost, the number of drum pieces needed/desired, the appearance of the drum set, and, of course, the sound quality of the drum set.

Drumming is an expensive instrument to play, especially when you factor in the hardware, cymbals, accessories, and the cost of the drum set itself. A hot 5-piece kit can cost you between $500 to $800, or you could purchase a used drum kit for $200 to $400, depending on the brand.
