Drum Set Buyer’s Guide
Ready to start your drum set lessons in the Boise, Idaho area and need an instrument?
Or maybe you are looking to add a new instrument to your music corner, or give a drum set as a gift.
No matter the reason, we think adding more music into your life is always a good thing, and we’re happy to help you find the perfect instrument! Read on for our curated list of drum set recommendations.*
The Basics
So Many Options!
One of the coolest things about picking out a drum set is you can’t really go wrong — just look for something in your price range and it’ll be a hit (pun intended) with your family! That said, if you’re looking for something to fit in a small space, or if you’re noise conscious, we’ll provide you with some suggestions to get you started.
Do you love that traditional sound and feel of a kit? Then an acoustic drum set will make your heart sing! Looking for something with an option for silent practice, or mold your unique sound with effects? Then an electronic drum set has endless possibilities!
As always, your local music shop will have a variety of awesome instruments for you to choose from. If you decide to purchase a used set you can always replace the heads of the drums and even the cymbals for an easy sound upgrade sometime in the future.
Now, let’s find a set to get you started playing!
