I'm gonna by my first drum set ..?

Question: I'm gonna by my first drum set !.!.!?

Yeah, so I've taken lessons and know the basics for drumming!. And, well, I'm tired of just practicing with a drum pad and want to buy my first drumset!.
Any good starter brands or anything!? I don't want it to be /too/ expensive, but a drum set that will sound good!.
Tips are also appreciated!. :D Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A a 5 piece Tama Imperialstar kit for $700!. It also comes with 3 or 4 Meinl cymbals with it too!.

also, check out DDrum kits too!. They have the DDrum pink PUNX drum kits for girls too!.
also, check out other good drum name brands like Lugwig & Pearl too!. Those are also good drum brand names too!.

If you can I'd go ahead and get a quality set!. When I was younger and taking guitar lessons I had an old Sears and Roebuck Silvertone guitar!. It cost 19!.95 if that tells you how old I am!. Anyway I struggled with it for 3-4 years!. Fretting cords on it was like fretting cords on a cloths line!. I saved money and got me a good guitar and the difference in the way I played was unbelievable!. I sounded like a pro!. So get the good ones and enjoy them!. Stick with it, practice makes perfect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I personally don't think there is much difference in drumsets that cost under $1000 by way of sound!. You could do alot to a cheaper drumset with different heads and alot of tuning time!.
The biggest difference is the hardware, rims, and lugs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
