my mum said that if i get into my school jazz band and pass my grade 4 drumming then i can have a new kit. what kind of kit would you recommend?

Do you have lessons? If yes, why don't you ask your teacher?

yeah i do have lessons. i'll probably ask my teacher. thanks

It all depends what your budget is...

Are you looking to spend:

< £100
£101 - £250
£251 - £450
£451 - £800
£801 - £1000
> £1000

???



Once I know that it'll be much easier to offer some advice!

Up to £1K

(aforementioned Mother...)

Then you wanna look at Highwood - a custom drum company in Yorkshire...

Most people associate custom kits with huge expensive, but a Highwood VGB kit is only around £850 - talk to Gareth and Simon at Highwood and see what they can do... They're really great guys - helpful, friendly and know their stuff!

You'll end up with a kit that is built to your specifications, that is truly unique to you...

(Only problem with custom kits is resale value generally isn't as good...)




If you wanna get a "normal" brand shell-pack, the Premier Artist is a good one to go for, and you'll be left with a lovely kit and some cash left over... For cymbals, ofc!!
