DRUMS:

https://amzn.to/3OYPnMI Gretsch Catalina Drum-kit. Really good and affordable drum set for all. Smaller size Bass/Kick drum which makes storing and moving easier. Often seen in use by professionals and beginners.

https://amzn.to/3BrpNgr Tama Superstar. Higher end drum-kit. Great for drummers, from beginners to seasoned vets, looking to grow with their kit and are passionate about drums.

Cymbals:
https://amzn.to/3OUnkOH High-end Cymbal set. Heard on stages and many of your favorite records.

https://amzn.to/4fiVma3 Higher quality than most, if not all other Low-Volume cymbals. Cheaper options do exist, but they’re usually very harsh sounding and prone to breakage far too soon. Your mileage may vary!

Accessories:
https://amzn.to/4fe5uAQ Drum-key. Used to tune drums as needed. Won’t need one too often when first starting out but it won’t take long before you want one around all the time!

https://amzn.to/3DqLDRC Vader 5A Drum Sticks. Simply my favorite feeling sticks overall. Vic Firth is also a good brand.

https://amzn.to/4gyKsxL Drum throne. Cheaper options on Amazon, but this one is comfy for short and long sessions, more easily adjustable than most, and has been quite reliable in my experience. Great type of throne to have when starting out to maintain good posture.


Electronic Drums:
https://amzn.to/4iaOspe Great and affordable Electronic kit for beginners and Novices.


https://amzn.to/3ZSW0GB Electronic Drum-kit for those wanting a quieter playing experience. This includes some accessories needed in a convenient bundle. I chose this kit over cheaper options due to the “feel” of it. Each drum is made to feel close to the real thing, which is very important for any drummer taking their progress seriously.
