Drum question
Permalink   
 

I know very well that this is a guitar forum - nevertheless, I have hope that they will be able to help me here, so please let me describe the following problem to you. Maybe someone who understands drums can help?

My two children they have already attended basic music lessons for one year and will start with drum lessons after the summer holidays. Now my task is to buy them a drum kit. I would like to go hunting for a good drum kit in second-hand condition. My budget is about 500 CHF, which is about 533 $ today.
After reading something on this topic and talking to a drum teacher, I know roughly what I want. The bass drum should be 16" or 18" so that children can reach it. As far as I understand, drum linings are consumables. What is really important and therefore requires a thorough check is the state of the hardware.

Now I have found three ads on the local marketplace that I would like to share with you. Maybe someone can take a look and give some advice? It would be very valuable!

I'll add the general advice that it is the playability of the first instrument that is most important. If the child is fighting the instrument then they will get frustrated.

I wanted to chime in and share some thoughts. It's heartwarming to know that your kids were starting their musical journey in drum lessons back then. I hope they've continued to explore and enjoy the world of music.
Looking for a good used drum kit within your budget was a wise decision, and I'm sure you found something perfect for your little musicians. A 16" or 18" bass drum sounds ideal for their age, ensuring they can comfortably reach the toms.
By the way, since your children were exploring drums, have they ever shown interest in adding a celtic drum like the bodhrán to their collection? It could add a unique touch to their musical repertoire.
