Anyone play the drums?
 

Just wondering if any of my fellow BAIC folks play the drums? Ive always just screwed around with my friends drumsets but now im actually looking into buying my own set and learning. The only problem is that I have no idea what the hell to look for. I dont need a baller set, just a good beginners/intermediate set.

yea i used to play the drums in high school and i know my stuff pretty well, think i saw u on haight on sunday around 4ish with ur green rims looks clean i was in the silver bugeye

cough cough**

I play. My first real set (still have it) is a Pacific Drums by DW set. When I got it, it was $599 drop shipped right to me. However, now I've noticed they are going for a lot more. I don't know if it's due to quality or just because people were buying them so they jacked up the price.

I'd suggest getting a cheap set for a couple hundred bucks before throwing down the cash for a medium-quality set. One thing to keep in mind is your neighbors though :)

i wish i had a set. I wanna play.

I was actually debating selling my set when I move to San Jose, but I think I'm just going to get mesh heads instead, best feel for a soundless alternative.

Tama or Yamaha

does rockband count?

if so here is my drum set

should I just craigslist it then? how much is a good beginners set new? As for my neighbors, yea, they arent goin to like it that much. When I get my set, im most likely just going to keep it at my grandparents guest house in St Francis woods

you'd need a throne (I suggest a Pork Pie one.....they are amazing) and I'd add a ride cymbal/cymbal stand. That'd be a pretty good beginner set

here's a GREAT value set. the yamaha stage customs can't be beat for entry level. look on musician's friend for reviews.
