Beginner Drum Sets

What's a good beginner drum set for teenagers?
I want to learn how to play a drum set, but I don't know what kind of set I should buy.
I'd suggest a good starter ludwig 5-piece set. You can buy them in any sam ash, or other music stores. You can choose the cymbal packages you want, and you can customize the set's color.
The drum set comes with a snare, ( white headed drum on the left) two toms ( drums on the big sideways drum) a bass drum ( big sideways drum) and a floor tom ( big drum on left)
I had it when I began, and I was very satisfied. I suggest for the cymbals, get a high hat and a ride, and to get a crash later, when you need it and are more advanced.
these sets are rather cheap, and go for about 250 a set. Great for beginers.
Also, heres a few tips: dont wack the drums
dont have your sticks hit the rims of the drum
if you want to do a cymbal crash, it the sides with the middle of your sticks

Alesis DM10 Drum Module $699 The Alesis DM10 is the drum module you've been waiting for. Not only does it deliver lightning-fast, uber-accurate tracking, the widest dynamic range of any drum module, incredibly drummer-friendly operation, and a massive input section, it also has the most realistic, natural sound set available in any drum module. But that wasn't enough. Of course, the Alesis DM10 has a built-in sequencer, metronome, top-panel mixer, and a variety of outputs, but the DM10 is also the first drum module to give you the ability to update its sound set via standard USB connection with your Mac or PC.Genuine Sounds You will immediately notice the Alesis DM10 module's outstanding sound quality. The module contains true drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds built from uncompressed samples of classic studio drums and prized cymbals. You'll find some of the most in-demand acoustic drum sounds from legendary drum brands, a huge arsenal of top producers' go-to snare drums, real American, Canadian, Chinese, and Turkish cymbals, and a choice selection of classic drum machine and electronic percussion sounds that have fueled the biggest hit records.Dynamic Articulation Discerning ears will notice that each sound is actually a series of different samples; multiple dynamic-level samples and articulations are all built in so as you play harder and softer, the drum or cymbal changes its timbre, not just its volume. This engineered realism is known as Dynamic Articulation, an Alesis exclusive.You can play with or without reverb for different room sounds and enjoy a wide variety of rimshots, rim clicks, and different stick-placement sounds on the cymbals. For example, a hi-hat's sound depends on a number of factors—how open or closed the pedal is, how hard it is struck, and other variables. The result is 40 different sounds, plus foot chick and heel splash.Unlimited Sounds The Alesis DM10 drum module not only has a breathtaking collection of onboard sounds, it is also the world's first drum-sound module that enables you to load new sound sets via USB connection from your computer. This means that your sounds will always stay fresh, current, and cutting edge.You can also use the Alesis DM10 module as a trigger-to-MIDI interface for performing and tracking with software drum modules such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason, among others. For practice, you can play along with the tracks in the DM10's internal sequencer or mix in MP3 player and play along.Inputs and Outputs The Alesis DM10 module has 12 trigger inputs, perfect for creating custom configurations. You can use it with virtually all drum and cymbal pads and acoustic drum triggers thanks to easy-to-configure trigger settings. The DM10 also has full MIDI implementation so if 12 trigger inputs aren't enough to accommodate your giant setup, just add the Trigger iO (sold separately) and keep adding on with 10 more inputs!The Alesis DM10 accommodates both continuous and switch (open/closed) hi-h |
