Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners OT: Drummers out there, advice needed.

Ok, first a little background. My 8 yr old is interested in learning the drums. For myself, I grew up playing the piano and trumpet, and am a pretty good singer.

Was thinking about getting a drum set, so both of us could learn. With my background, I have always wanted to play drums, and I think I would catch on pretty quickly.

I have found some very highly regarded instructional DVD's on Amazon that I'm thinking about getting.

My main question is recommendations on the purchase of a drum set. I don't want to pay an arm and leg, but I also don't want junk. Are there any good quality drum set brands out there you would recommend at a decent price?

I've heard names like Tama, Pearl, Yamaha, etc... and they all seem to have some beginner/medium sets available. Also, would it make sense to buy online, or go to a local music store? Thanks, Randy



Any help would be appreciated....
