Question: Are there any advantages or disadvantages when purchasing drums online!?

I am looking to purchase a specific drum set, but the only problem is that i can only find it online!. My friend said it would be harder to put it together when it comes in, i dont really know what he meant by thatWww@QuestionHome@Com

well when it comes to u its gonna be in boxes and u have to assemble it into the right places in the set the drums will be there and everything but u have to set it up the prob is that u could get a really crappy drum set bcuz of the maker and u dont get to test it outWww@QuestionHome@Com

yea! if you buy online you have to do your own set up, if your proficient at it no problem, if not they'll sound like 2 ally cat's and a pit bull in a dumpster! but just think of all the $ you'll save!Www@QuestionHome@Com
