Is this a good deal for a drum kit?
I have a beginners kit and I have been playing for over 5 years. I haven’t touched my kit for some time because it is embarrassing to play on. I have been getting by playing at gigs by borrowing other kits. Anyway, I’m looking for a reasonably cheap intermediate kit that I can use for gigs.
At the moment, I can pick up a DDRUM DIABLO kit 5 piece with snare, one rack tom and 2 floor toms. Comes with hi hat stand, boom stand and straight stand (no cymbals). Also comes with stool and is red wrapped with black powder coated hardware.
This kit costs $500.
Would this be sufficient to play at gigs and stuf
f?
DDRUM’s are pretty good. They are the new metalish kits out. That deal sounds fair, but I would keep on the lookout a bit more. Keep checking Craigslist and your local newpaper’s Classified sections or any other local sales lists. The reason is you can find some Amazing deals in those. Usually from some rich family that bought their kid a drumset and he/she turned out not to like it or are lazy as hell to practice.
For instance, I bought my first drumset(10 years ago, I know) for about $550. It was a Pearl Export with some Niiiice cymbals (Zildjian A custom’s), and everything was there, throne, hardware, etc.
You can find deals like that in those resources, I see them all the time.
Cymbals are going to be the most expensive item for your kit. If you can find a set with cymbals(decent ones, not trash can lids) thrown in then that’ s your buy.
One cymbal, can cost over $200! Even more than that, it’s crazy.
