Rating:
Deep sounding bass and crisp attack on the snare gives this set a five star rating. Great price point. Get some good cymbals and you’ll have a decent rock drum kit. The styling of this drum set is awesome and it comes in a variety of colors, although I prefer the one pictured here–Cool red hardware on black. This drum set gets really good ratings on the vendor’ssite.

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.
