Let me get on my soapbox for just one moment…The cheap drum set reviews below are actual name brand drum kits that will hold up better than other cheap no-name brand drum sets you find out on the web. And the prices are the same. My goal here is to help you find a decent set for a good price. The kits here are cheap in price, but great in quality…They’re name brand kits that are backed by real companies.

This drum kit is just too cool. Great, cheap price and it bears the Ludwig name. It’s sized for a kid 4-8 years old. You can’t beat this price as it comes complete with cymbals and hardware. It’s a nice looking drum set also with a great finish. The beginner drummer should be pounding away on the skins at no time with this sweet drum kit.

If you want to get into drumming, especially rock that requires double bass drumming, this could be it. It’s affordable, and looks pretty nice. Doesn’t come with any cymbals or cymbal stands though, so that’s going to be a little extra. But once it’s all added up, you should have a pretty decent set for pretty cheap. Check out Muscian’s Friend for the Pulse line of cymbal stands and other cheap, low priced cymbals.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill cheaper drum set you would find at a department store. It’s actually a fairly nice kit for the beginner drummer. It doesn’t include the stands and cymbals, but cheap cymbal and hardware can be found at Musician’s Friend where this drum set can be purchased. Just search around for their Pulse Hardware. The black hardware is pretty cool looking. This should get the beginner drummer off to the right start.
