Hi all

My daughter (12) is getting into playing the drums. She's had a few lessons at a local music school and we want to get her a starter kit for Christmas.

It can't really be acoustic unfortunately as it would disturb us and our neighbours, who we like and are getting on a bit.

I believe my main choices are Tourtech (budget), Yamaha (middle), or Roland (higher end).

Is that right and would you have any recommendations for a kit please, say for around £400?

Thanks.

I have a Roland v-drums set. I found the mesh heads provide a better feel but the offerings have moved on since I got mine.

Other things to think about:
* throne
* kick pedal if they don't provide

Also one tip is if you find the kick noise too much, you can put a sheet of plywood down on top of 1/2 tennis balls with the kit on top of that to reduce the vibrations.

Thanks for this. What does this look like to you?

Well I set up my daughter's Christmas present yesterday and she's really enjoying it. It sounds really good to my ears.

First additional thing I now need to buy is some kind of amp / speaker so she can show off! She's currently using some old Sennheiser headphones.

P.S. yes I'll tidy up the cables :p.
