[@dariocarrasco7936]

I have never seriously been behind a kit before but recently wanted to get into drumming (background in guitar) and this has seriously motivated me to buy some beginner set and hit the skins until I got it down, thank you

So many good options now in decent quality drums and cymbals available from the major manufacturers. I started out banging on cardboard boxes out in the back yard. Then begged and needled my Mom for a drum set for Christmas when I was 13 years old. I received my first 'drum set' for Christmas that year: A Remco 'Liverpool Compact' three-piece kit: 12" snare drum, 10" tom, and a 16" bass drum and a 10" piece of metal which was supposed to be a cymbal. I was thrilled and that little set put me on the road to a lifetime (and still going) of collecting and playing drums. I now have a collection of excellent drums and cymbals but I will forever be thankful to my Mom for getting me started for a lifetime of something I truly love.

[@MrDlt123]

I started out in a Pearl Export kit (the lowest line at the time) many years ago and I've recommended their kits to all of my drum students for nearly 4 decades. Of course, there are several competing manufacturers that make great beginner kits, but I've observed that Pearl (My general impression) cares alot about the quality and consistency of their beginner kits. I've always believed that quality bearing edges are more important than doodads like floating tom mounts and what type of tree was sacrificed to build the drums.

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

Even though I don't play Pearl drums, I've always had respect for them! I've seen a student of mine purchase these drums. I set them up for him and was really impressed with everything!

[@theblytonian3906]

@Darrin Nunyah I have to agree with you 100%. Pearl's attention to overall build quality as well as QC shows, at least in my example, The bearing edges on my (02/2021) Export EXX are worthy of a two thumbs up for excellence comment. And to find this in this segment at this price point is just wow! I like the EXX's hybrid Asian mahogany & poplar wood shells too. Look great, and the tones are appealing to my ear. Not experienced enough to know how much of that is the size of the shells, their construction or composite woods, e.g. the largish 22x18 kick & larger 16" floor tom, or a bit of all as I suspect along with all the other things like Remo UTC skins, tuning, (kick drum pillow) damping etc. Mine were a pleasure to assemble and tune too. A year and a half on, initial buyer excitement has long faded and owner pride is sufficiently under control to be honest in my appraisal, although I admit bias because of how good they are I would sum this set up with the statement as having exceeded expectation in every respect. I am so very glad I went with them and would buy the same again.

[@Filmyak01]

What timing! I’m about to buy my first drum set, for my kids and me. And this has been hugely helpful!

[@taylordowns566]

I have a roadshow fusion. Ive been playing for a while but wanted something fairly inexpensive. I was very impressed by the kit and hardware and love to play it. But it is true you will have to upgrade the cymbals if you want a better sound. But i def recommend these to any beginner or intermediate players.

[@skeeeyatata_1859]

Hey I'm looking into this drum set, what's your opinion on the sound of the drums themselves

[@theblytonian3906]

@@skeeeyatata_1859 All brands' shells at that price point will be multi-ply poplar and will sound similar, size notwithstanding. For the $$$ they sound pretty good. The tone and sound can be improved inexpensively with a just a change of batter heads accompanied by competent tuning. Most entry level sets e.g. Roadshow, Rydeen come supplied OOTB with unbranded single ply clear mylar heads, except for the snare which will usually be coated.

[@bwest2010]

Guitarist songwriter for 30 years. Covid lockdown boredom led me to buy my first drum kit which is a used Roadshow Rock set. I Upgraded with new Tom heads, good used Sabian hats/Cymbals, and properly tuned all. I'm learning drums and having a blast. I'm into the kit for about $400 total. The kit sounds great. I feel it could credibly gig anywhere. One of the best musical purchases I've made.

[@kevystead]

Nice choices for beginners. I've been a Pearl user for many Years.. Got my Session Customs probably 20 years ago and they've never disappointed! As for Cymbals.. I hear ya.. Pearl cymbals = Crap! I've been using the Paragon Line last 10 years.. Just the Best! in my opinion. My Nephew is interested in starting to play.. so now I have some options. Cheers

[@butchcassidy3373]

I forked over a couple of grand for my first kit and I've stayed with it for three years now. I think having decent equipment helped motivate me to practice more. Now I'm jamming with some good musicians and getting ready to gig soon. So consider that if you have the dedication and the funds

[@stevewittbrodt]

I've been weighing up the Pearl Roadshow against the TAMA Rhythm Mate for a long time. Both have roughly the same specs, same (complete) kits, colors and price (and yes, both crappy stock cymbals). Ended up going for the TAMA RM, as some of my favorite musicians play TAMA (e.g. Deftones, Helmet).

[@wangui9908]

This is helpful, been weighing the same ones too.... Recently someone recommend Q7 .... So I'm still wondering

[@imcommentingtogetthisintot4425]

[@rithimstuff]

This helped me and my parents so much. Can’t wait to refine my skills!

[@AMJ564]

Mapex tornado is a way better option simply because its cheaper with the same quality and you can use the rest of your money to get new drum heads and a starter cymbal pack.

[@ishanimazumder3064]

I'm a drummer who came here after deciding I might want to try electric bass and got overwhelmed with best beginner bass videos 😂.

[@theblytonian3906]

Having been in this position a year and a bit ago myself, although well self-briefed and although I went with neither of these, I concur Pearl's Roadshow or Yamaha's Rydeen on a tight budget are no brainer choice bang for the buck clear winners. Ultimately I chose to go up a notch on both to Pearl's Export EXX 22" Fusion Plus shell pack + 803 HW pack bundle as the preferred way for me to buy. In doing so, for the same money as a bundle, I got to select my preferred & more expensive Meinl cymbals, a much better than entry level basic throne, & a range of Vater and VIC FIRTH sticks & Meinl Deluxe stick bag rather than any of the basic bundles which came with the sets if buying that way. Truth is, I wanted and had budgeted up to the Yamaha Custom Stage Birch even if undeniably it is/was overkill for entry, but they just weren't available and wouldn't be for months PEAK COVID plandemic. In hindsight completely excluding buyer pride bias or rationalisation, I'm glad I went with the Pearl Export EXX instead. Left me a huge chunk of change to buy all those extras & accessories which are always an afterthought, and there's absolutely nothing shabby about it at all. Exceeded expectations would be the most accurate accolade. Build quality, rim edges, components, finish, what's included, tone, suitability for purpose including gigging, I truly couldn't be happier. Now that said, not faults, but two only extremely minor criticisms as with anything including possibly either Yamaha had I gone there, but I'm an attention to detail guy. Geared Rack Tom mounts. Obviously Yamaha's ball system is ergonomically superior. But then with Pearl's Export you get Opti-Loc isolation on the Tom mounts whereas on Yamaha's Rydeen, they are direct mount, so you have to move up a segment and a significant wad of $$$ to the Stage Custom Birch to get isolation mounts on Yamaha's Rack Toms. I'm no gear snob though. It's what you do with it that really counts. Roadshow or Rydeen will do a splendid job. If I'd been gifted or cash assisted into either as a kid or teen, man I'd have felt like I was just offered a jump seat ride to the moon with the crew on Apollo 11!

[@LAOWayMusic]

So what was your total cost of a kit?

[@theblytonian3906]

@@LAOWayMusic Apologies. I wrote a detailed reply, then promptly lost it. o.O Can't be bothered writing it again. In brief I everything bought well and selectively, and a lot of accessories too with the difference between my initial budget I'd set aside for Yamaha's Stage Custom Birch and Pearl's Export EXX. Buying the Pearl EXX as I did but with my own choice of throne, cymbals, sticks, bag I ended up with better and my preferred everything for around the same price as Pearl's EXX basic inc. cymbals and throne bundle sells for everywhere. Going with the Export EXX left a big chunk of change from had I gone the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch route. I bought a LOT of extra kit with that chunk. In hindsight, ego/owner pride aside, I'm pleased I went with the Pearl Export EXX as it'll more than serve my every foreseeable need for many years. Its Mahogany/Poplar shells are versatile and sound great to my ear as does the 22" kick drum. I really like its snare drum as mentioned in this review.

[@the_real_Heisenburger]

Thanks man I've been getting into piano and drums lately

[@ain8577]

I never play drums before. If i want to start playing it, should I start with electronic drums or the normal one? ( im using it at home ) And if im taking a drum class, will they teach me using electronic drum normal drum?

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

I would recommend learning on a real drum set. Electronics don't have the same feel. For lessons, it all depends on the teacher and what they have.

[@______7794]

Behind the Beat with Chris Langan I have some weird cheap electric drums in my school, and they feel like shit. and I tried playing some shuffle on the ride cymbal, it didn’t make a sound half of the time

[@darianruttenberg4035]

Go acoustic if given the choice, I started with electric and though I had mesh pads and it was a medium to higher end kit i feel as though a lot of the feel to technique translation was lost, specific techniques are harder to learn and some of them may not work entirely on electric. Just go acoustic for first kit.

[@watsytooya8107]

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

No Paiste cymbals? My first drum set back in 1990, looked like a refugee off the curb, my second one was made by Royce, the third one was a double bass Pearl Export used. The fourth one was short lived can't remember if it was a CB percussion. My current kit I have had since 1998, I paid $1,000 from my uncle and is a larger Ludwig kit. 24" bass drum 18" floor tom, and 4 rack toms 8" 10" 13" 14". He bought it used in 1990. The original owner must have custom ordered this kit in about 1981. 70's Zilligian cymbals. DW 5000 double pedal. Vater drum sticks.

[@reyestorque6686]

Hi, thanks for this video. I want to start learning how to play thw drums and I bought a kit and a set of cymbals for me to use. Amazingly enough, the kits and set of cymbals that I bought were all mentioned in this video. This further validates my decision on buying the items. I have a Pearl Roadshow Fusion and Sabian SBR and I added a Meinl 14" crash classic as well as a cowbell. I am excited to begin my drumming journey. Thanks for this video.

[@LunaticTheCat]

I've come to the conclusion that if I want to produce music that grooves as hard as Swans, I've gotta get a kit and learn how to play. I already play the guitar and trombone, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up the drums relatively quickly if I put the hours in in the wood shed. I'm going to be buying a kit in a few days and will start getting to work learning how to play some grooves I really fuck with (i.e. Swans grooves lol) I think once I get good enough I'll drop some cash on some high end cymbals, and start figuring out exactly what type of drums I need to get the tones I want.

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

Do it! You will thank yourself!

[@dayshawna]

i’m not sure what type of kit to get, what would you say for playing things like classic rock, indie rock and pop punk type of songs

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

Probably the Rock set will give you more of the sound you're looking for, but honestly any of them will work. You could always take one tom off the other kits to make it look like the rock kit.

[@cubanbread5159]

Thanks man 👍 subbed

[@davidmcaninch4714]

With beginner kits, the cymbals that come with them are, for lack of a better word, crap. They’ll do the job good enough, but if the time comes to upgrade them, I’d definitely do it 100%. Now I’m not saying that you need to get brilliant-finished Zildjian A Customs, which are my favorite by the way, but you should get at least something that sounds great for a rather affordable price.

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

For sure. They aren’t great. But it’s nice, especially for parents, who most likely have no clue what is needed, to get everything in one package. But I agree…An upgrade would def be the best option.

[@ejnerhobergrasmussen]

Thank you very much! Im a very New drummer, who absolutely love playing in school. Im looking at the cymbals packs. Which one of those you said, is the best for me then?

[@johannjohann6523]

Wuhan cymbals have good sounding entry cymbals as well. Regretfully they are a Chinese brand, but the quality of the materials used to make what is their entry level cymbals is a higher quality than the other guys. The cymbals are machine made, instead of hand made, and being made in China is why lower cost. But they sound surprisingly good for the price, and it's primarily the materials used that create the cymbals sound.

If I wanted to play music like the bands: falloutboy, panic at the disco, twenty one pilots, Green Day, etc. what kit do I choose?

I would recommend one of the "Fusion" kits. Alot of drummers play with their kits set up like the "Rock" kit, meaning one tom up and then two floor toms, but you can do that with the fusion kit as well. just remove the second tom from the bass drum.

Ok so essentially if I got this set you suggested here in Green Bay Wisconsin where I'm from it costs me $499.00 plus the upgrade to the better menial cymbals add $99.00 and an extra stand for the extra cymbal $50.00 equals $648.00 or I could just get the Tama Imperialstar set for $699.00 and not upgrade to better cymbals cause it comes with the menials and wouldn't have to get extra stands cause it already has them and for only about $50 more.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I am in a similar spot, looking at Imperialstar and Ludwig Element Evolution.... leaning toward the Ludwig with Zildjian cymbals.... now just to pick a color as it seems they don't make them in white sparkle now... which has me wondering if the Tama is available in a white sparkle....lol I am thinking either of these will not only come with better cymbals, but also better hardware, and likely better heads as well....

I have been watching videos about drum kits... and am leaning toward the Ludwig Element Evolution 6pc kit....with 20" kick drum.... seems that kit would be the most flexible in configurations... would likely start out by just setting up the kick, snare, and hats...then add pieces as my kids and I get into it... this would also have us starting out with pretty good stuff I think and not needing to buy anything soon besides sticks and possibly heads if we beat them to death. Also, we would have what would basically be the upgrade cymbals to one of the Roadshow or Ludwig Accent kits, as well as possibly better hardware. Do you think this would be a good route to go, and then if one of us gets really into it, buy nicer hi-hats, and playing side heads down the road? Happy new year!

That's not a bad idea at all! You're right, you can configure that kit in many ways! You'll have the drums down (the hard part), then you can just add cymbals and other gear as you go!

Is ludwig a good alternative for pearl?

[@jonathankahanovitch2839]

There's a video that praises Ludwig. Good entry stuff too.

What should i buy for playing songs like nirvana?

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

Dave Grohl typically plays on a Drum kit which is set up like the "Rock" kit. Any kit can get the job done though.

If your thinking about buying instruments don’t go to a friend who has certain instruments you like cause you have to be patient with learning to play

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

Absolutely! Some of their power end kits still sound great!

[@NappingOtter999]

Thank you thank you thank you for this video it was so fucking informative !

[@chandrakantanath4479]

which is better pearl roadshow or tama rhythm mate

[@lukeg64]

Do you recommend the fusion kit or the new fusion or do you recommend one of the other kits

[@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan]

I recommend either of the fusion kits, mainly because of their sizes. I like smaller, punchier drums. They are an all-around great kit for any genre!
