Electronic sets

Pulse 8 piece

Well, if you don't wanna be noisy and all just get a beginner electronic drum set maybe roland but if you don't mind the noise get a real one. a good beginner real drum set is a ludwig 5 piece drum set imo thats just me though there are better beginner ones though.

My brother recommends that, because you can always take away parts if you're not gonna use them.

Pulse =/= very good drumset. I would really advise you to save your money and get something like a Pearl Export.

I'd recommend Pearls as a really good drumset, but for a first drumset, I would honestly take whatever. I would definitely go with a real set, and whatever is cheap that you can get should be sufficient. A first drumset doesn't have to be expensive or sound amazing; As long as it helps you learn, it should be fine. After you get better at drums, however, look into investing in a pearl set. They are costly, but amazing drumsets once you get good at drums.

Thanks for the recommendations so far you guys. Im just looking for a cheap effective drumset that'll last and still have a good quality to it.

Leaning towards the Ludwigs

Get whatever feels and sounds best for you. I've said this countless times before, that drumming is all about you and what you like. If you like a particular kit, but everybody recommends a different one (that you don't like), get the one you like. You can't be a good drummer if you don't have equipment that you think sounds good.

Be careful about picking the drums, try to find good cheap brands that are popular and not shitty sets like this

I have a Tama damn I forget what it's called. Well I bought it used off craig's List afor 500 dollars. The guy had two other toms, and another bass drum I just got the five piece and I love it. So try looking at Tamas. I do have a pearl snare purchased for $350. It pwns.
