    Im thinking of purchasing a drumkit after christmas for myself. Something basicz and on the lower end of the price scale. its just for practice and jamming myself really. Ive been looking online and it seems Sonar have some nice kits on the lower end of the scale. as do Premier. I like premier gear personally but its years since i used it. Whats sonar like?
    Also i like a real tight kick drum sound and ive seen Some kits with 18" Kick drums, are there any disadvantages to these? or is it just personal preference.
    If anyone has any links etc send them on.
    Im reluctant about buying Pearl Forum as they dont look the may west

    around the 500 Mark or so. Not really looking for Cymbals etc but they would be an added bonus. If its any help, i dont need a kick pedal or Snare either. but again, they would be an added bonus

    ..had a look at that , looks a nice starter kit alright, and a bit more shall we say polished as a start off cheaper kit than the Pearls etc, I use SONOR drums and their the best IVE had so far!,,,so for that price I think it's a very good buy, hardware should be good and heavy and the drums should sound good and be damm tough..mine are!,,,they need to be!!

    Although Some of the one's Doc has listed make good reading since they include cymbals and extras so it's up to you....

    ciao' amigo...Baggio..............

    The Export stuff is sound enough for the money. There used to be a time where everyone had a Pearl Export at some stage :)

    Forums are gick though.

    Bomb: I absolutley hate the Pearl Tom Mounting system... especially the Forum...ugh....

    For beginner money, I would recommend that Sonor from Thomann - looks good and it'll sound grand methinks.

    Premier budget stuff is grand (Cabria series) - it'll do the job. Check Premier's site for more info about them. Waltons would sell this stuff

    DW do a budget line called "PDP - Pacific Drums and Percussion". Music Maker sell those. Its worth a look in for the extra cash cos it might work out better in the long run - an extra 150 - 200 euro paid could mean the difference in many years extra life out of a better quality set. Link
