Wondering whether to buy the best monster drum set or the best small drum kit? This is an important question that deserves utmost attention when you are in the market for buying the best drums. It can be very exciting buying a drum set. I equate it to a young child allowed to pick out a toy from a toy store, so many things to choose from. You may even want to have a set-up like your favorite drum artist. In any event, we will explore some areas that may help in your purchasing decision.
How much money are you willing to spend?
This question alone may serve to help your decision regarding the purchase. Granted, a monster set (9 piece or more) will most likely cost more than a smaller drum kit, especially if it is one of the top brand name sets. To add into the costs, you will probably need some drum accessories and drum parts such as tension screws drum and cymbal cases. Cost may not be a problem for some but for others this bit of information may be all that they need.
Storage and set-up
Storing and setting up can be a problem for both the monster and the small drum set. Space is a commodity and the more there is, the less cramped you will be. You might want to keep in mind the amount of time for breakdown and set-up.
Transporting the kit
Transporting your set to gigs, studios, or rehearsals will require a vehicle that can manage all of the equipment. Most often, drummers have to move their own equipment (unless you are famous and have roadies do it for you). This can be a bit of a challenge if your band is performing with other bands. This would require bands to set-up and breakdown quickly.
Performing
What style of music do you like to play? Maybe you enjoy rock, in which you may settle for a monster kit or a small set for jazz performing. Though, there are some famous drummers that will have monster sets for jazz and smaller sets for rock. You will have to investigate what works best for you.
Take your time
We have just explored some of the key factors in helping you to determine your drum purchase. Take your time with this process so that you will have a good foundation in your decision. Once you have come to a resolution, enjoy the journey of buying your new drum set.

Where can I find a drum teacher in Maidstone Kent?
I've emailed four different drum teachers in my town and heard nothing back from any of them. I'm half convinced its because i'm A) a woman and B) never played before they dont want to know but I'm prepared to learn everything, even the theory side of things.
Does anyone know where there are any drum teachers in the Maidstone area? We only have one music shop and that deals in classical music, so dont suggest that idea.
But how can I learn if no one wants to teach?
