I can remember my own experience as a student learning to play the drums the equipments I used for my lessons actually increased my learning curve, rather than shorten it. The equipment you select as a part of your beginners system should be design with the student in mind.

Once an armature percussionist advances in their skill set then there will be more opportunities to upgrade the equipment, but in starting off let's keep it real simple. More and more beginners are seeking the best equipment to start their percussion lessons, at the best possible cost. In my experience there are two basic systems that I highly recommend for beginners.

• Pearl forum 5 pieces drum kit Drums / Percussion

• The Ludwig LR1125RC Accent Drum Set

I would like to start by saying that I am not a paid spokesperson for either of the system I listed above, however I can highly recommend both of these systems if you are just starting out with your lessons.

Pearl forum 5 pieces drum kit Drums / Percussion

Forum, the best quality entry-level drum set in the world is the best value too. Besides the drums and hardware, the 5 piece Forum also includes FREE cymbals, throne, drumsticks, and a set-up video. With all the essentials included, Forum is ready to play and truly lives up to its nickname, Ready-Set-Go!

All Forum shells feature Pearl's exclusive scarf joint (gapless seam) construction for uniform shell vibration, unimpeded by air pockets, for warmth and richness found only in more expensive drums. The 14x5.5 inch snare drum features a 100% poplar shell for unparalleled sonic performance in its class.
