Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I want to start playing the drums and I hear that snare drums are a good drum for beginners. Any suggestions. The most money I'm willing to spend on a drum is about $250-300 any suggesstions? The good name brands are 1. Yamaha 2. DDrum 3. Tama 4. Ludwig 5. Porkpie You've got 2 good choices here. You want to save the rest of your cash for ther rest of the pieces of the drum kit too. 1. DDRUM 7" X 13" Dominion ash snare for $160 2. Tama Artwood 8" x 14" maple snare for $250 You can see their pics here www.guitarcenter.com www.music1233.com Good luck I personally think you should start with bells to get accustomed to reading notes, music, rhythms, and build coordination before you begin snare and learning rudiments. If you can only spend $300 max on a snare drum, get a practice pad. You won't find a good one under that price range unless you want a used one. That way you can still hear it, the rebound is similar, and you don't annoy your parents. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=s... Bell kit: http://www.google.com/products?q=bell+ki... Edit: Even with experience, I suggest a bell kit so you can get accustomed to the coordination. Mapex snare are extremely crisp and top quality . $200 should buy you one on special. |
