Music Go Round STL Favorite: Top Three Starter Drum Kits

February 24, 2021 by MGRSTL

So you have started drumming and need a new kit and a place to start. Even if you are entirely in the dark about what you need and where to start, there are many starter drum kits available to help get you started.

Here are the top three starter drum kits that we think you’ll love:

starter drum kitsRetro Style: Gretsch Catalina Club

This 4-piece kit is a punchy throwback with retro drum sizes and finish. Mahogany shells give you an excellent low-end punch that is versatile and perfect for a broad range of music styles. A shallow bass drum depth is effortless to work with thanks to it’s 14” x 18” size.

Note that this is a shell pack, meaning cymbals and hardware are not included.

Budget Friendly: Yamaha Rydeen

The Yamaha Rydeen 5-piece shell pack is budget friendly and has enough variations that it will grow with beginner players. This set boasts the excellent quality that we have all come to expect from Yamaha, and utilizes Yamaha hardware featuring Genuine Yamaha tom and pipe clamps.

Full Set: Pearl Roadshow

The Pearl Roadshow is a full set, meaning cymbals and other hardware like drumsticks are included. This set is also budget friendly, right behind the Yamaha Rydeen. The Pearl Roadshow has everything you need to start drumming and features quality hardware that can stand the intensity of prolonged sessions.

With the ability to adjust its height and angles, the Pearl Roadshow is a solid investment for new players who want the whole package.

Masterpiece; always and forever! And, of course there are more on the ‘traditional’ ‘forbidden’ list: Sweet Child O’Mine, Smoke on the Water, […]

Fender Custom Shop

Top Shelf

At our ‘old’ store we had the Red Wall. It was where the cool high-end guitars and basses liked to hang out. It was a glorious attraction. Beautiful select gear framed in crimson for all to see and touch. At our ‘new’ shop we have lots more room. We have lots more inventory. So, we […]

Solid State Guitar Amplifiers

So I’m gonna confess something first and foremost: I’m a tube snob. I love the glass. I love the dynamic push and pull you get from having valves in an amplifier. Valves/tubes/glass – bottles of tone… BUT – let’s talk briefly about Solid State Amplifiers… They have their place. And in many cases – they […]

Ace.

Ace. Yeah, normally we talk about gear. And there will be hints of that here because we, nor he, could do what we/he do/did without the stuff. But. Let’s talk Ace. The Les Paul and Marshall pounding dynamo who has left for space. His home. Jendell in the Klaatu solar system. He wasn’t the most […]
