Are you thinking about buying a drum set for the first time? Many time first time drummers or parents of drummers don't know really know what they are looking for. This usually ends up with you spending more then you bargained for. I will do my best and give recommendations to make this easier on you.
First off, a basic set needs to come complete. Drum sets don't always sell as "complete" sets though because on the market you will find "shell sets," "shell sets with hardware," and, "sets without cymbals." A shell set means that you will not get any cymbals, drum throne(unless they specify) cymbal stands, bass pedal and sticks. So for now, you will want to stay away from those because for a beginner drummer, this situation can be quite hopeless. They won't be able to get what they need out of a shell pack or a shell pack with hardware, short of you buying in all of the missing parts and spending much more than you bargained for. From the first time buyers eye, a shell pack might seem "cheaper," at first, but what comes in the box is just incomplete for the beginner drummer.
A basic set for a beginner drummer who is just starting out should have 1- Hi-hat Stand, 2- Hi-hat cymbals, 1- Snare stand, 1- Drum Throne, 1- Bass Pedal, At least 1-Cymbal stand, 1-Crash cymbal, 1-Snare drum, 1-2- Mounted Toms, and 1- Floor tom. It might come with a pair of drum sticks for free but that is often up to the dealer. If you need a visual for what a beginner set might look like, I will leave a link down below for you. Some of these words can sometimes sound weird, like what in the world is a "hi-hat?" But I will leave a link down below to help you gain a better understanding.
Now, If you are looking for a set for young child between the ages of 3-8, then I recommend getting them a Ludwig Kids or a Union Kids Set. Those are real little instruments not toys and they are meant for a much smaller child. Reaching problems and sitting problems are solved with a proper child's set.
Here are my Top Recommendations For Complete Starter Sets
1.) Ddrum Starter-$299
2.) PDP Z5- $299-$399
3.) Gammon- $249
4.) Rogers RD622-$399
5.) Ludwig Accent CS-$399
These are ball park prices because prices these days are always changing.
