The
Percussion Plus Starter Drumset
Parents are often looking for a reasonably priced
starter drumset for their son or daughter. They
don't want to spend $500 or $600 for a nicer set
until they see how commited their child is to practicing
and whether or not they will stick to it.
Extra
Features that are not always included on a starter
drumset in this price range include:
- 12 lugs on each of the mounted toms (this provides
for more flexibility in tuning)
- A 16" bass drum (as opposed to 14").
- Adjustable telescoping bass drum legs that allow
for greater positioning.
- A steel snare drum (as opposed to wood) that offers
more flexibility in tone.
- Quality REMO clear drumheads.
- Cymbals and throne included! (Not often included
with a drumset priced this low).
The
shells are made of multi-ply hardwoods. Available
colors are Black, Metallic Wine Red, Metallic Red,
Steel Grey, Metallic Smoky Silver, Midnight Blue,
Bronze, Metallic Sea Green, and Brushed
Red (new colors!). The sizes are generous and
the toms are "power toms" meaning they
have a deeper sound in drumsets preferred by young
drummers today. Additionally, all the drums come
equipped with quality drumheads.
The
hardware (metal stands) is all double braced.
This helps the stands stay upright when played relatively
hard and renders them more durable in the long run.
The
cymbals leave a bit to be desired but this
is typical for lower priced starter drumsets. Better
cymbals would drive the price up another $300 or
more. The student can always upgrade to better cymbals
at a later date.
