Please contact me if you have any questions about purchasing a drum set.
Recommended Materials
I also strongly recommend that you purchase a set of Vic Firth Isolation Headphones. These will allow you to practice along with songs and the metronome without damaging your hearing.
Students must have a CD player, computer, or MP3 player near their drum set. This will allow them to play along with songs and exercises.
Equipment
For beginning students who want to play a full acoustic drum kit I recommend this package. It contains everything you will need to get started. They have this kit in three colors: black, vintage red, and midnight blue. Before you place the order make sure they have the drum kit in stock. Sometimes they won't have a particular color and it can take weeks for these kits to be shipped over from China.
