The best drums for beginners

Which drum kit to start with

That depends on several factors: where you practice, how you practice, and what your goals are. For example, if you want to play at home, don’t have much space, and don’t want to be too loud, an e-drum kit is recommended.

Starting with an acoustic drum kit
