simmydrummer Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Guys,Looking for a bit of advice. Basically, I played drums for about 8 years until 2004, when I ran out of space/time for my kit. Therefore, I sold my kit. The itch has returned, and I'm keen to get back to gigging, and rehearsing with my former band.Problem is, because I've been out of the scene for a few years, I've lost touch. I'm looking for a basic start up kit, as I still have a few bits and bobs lying about the house.Looking for a decent price, decent kit, and decent size.Advice much appreciated.CheersMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapex, Premier, Pearl, Tama, Yamaha, Pacific and others all do very good-sounding, solidly built kits in the 500-750 bracket. Depending on what bits you've already got (eg. stands, snare drum etc), you may be able to go cheaper than this. CheersNeil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Agree with the post above but will say that I have a lovely Gretsch (2 actually) for sale if you get confused. Choices choices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
