How To Choose The Best Beginners Drum Set

So you’ve begun your journey into the world of rhythm, and you’re ready to upgrade to a proper drum set, but where do you start?


Drum sets consist of a lot of different parts, floor toms, crash cymbals, drum heads, kick pedals, just to name a few. They’re certainly not the most convenient things to move around with. But as the years have progressed, manufacturers have slowly begun to refine and perfect the drum set, with lighter parts that still hold all the power you want. 


A basic, beginner drum kit, will consist of a kick drum, a snare drum and two toms. Depending on the kit, they will also come with cymbals and hardware, otherwise, you will have to buy them separately. 


If you are just getting started, it might be best to simplify things for yourself by choosing a drum kit that comes with all the necessary gear to start playing. 


Though for the more ambitious musician, there are certainly a lot more options available. 


So if you’re looking for a beginner drum set, here are a few options to get you started, all available for sale at Infinite Music
