Choosing a Junior Drum Set for Your Early Drummer
Junior or starter drums sets are a great way for child drummers to begin a long life of drumming. Buying a child drum set for a younger player will help them play drums using a real instrument, which in turn will help them develop a love for drums while at the same time learn drumming techniques and have fun.
What is also great about junior or starter drum set is that even though they are quality instruments, they are usually affordable. There are plenty on the market now that you can generally find one for between $100 and $150. This is far less than the many hundred dollars you would pay for a real drum kit. Plus, junior drum kits usually come with all the accessories needed to start drumming right away, like drum sticks, bass pedal, throne (drumming seat), and drum key. This means young drummers can usually start drumming right away once they purchase their kit.
There are junior drum kits in a variety of configurations, but generally choosing one is relatively simply. Starter drum kits are usually first categorized by how many ‘drums’ are in the kit. You’ll find 3-piece, 4-piece, and 5-piece junior drum sets, which really defines how many tom-tom drums come with the kit in addition to the bass drum and snare drum. Any of these configurations are great for a young drummer to start drumming, its just a matter of personal preference and budget. Junior drum sets also come with cymbals and a high-hat to round out the drum set components.
There are also different size child drum sets, and most will indicate the age appropriateness for each set. You’ll find small sets made for children ages 3-7, then sets for ages 7-10. Some of the larger junior drum sets are suitable for children all the way into their teenage years, which they will use as long as they are fond of drumming and until they are ready to upgrade to a full set. These junior drum sets will also last many years as well, as the main parts that wear down are the drum heads which are easily replaced.
Finding the right drum kit for kids is relatively easy as well. Many major musical instruments manufacturers who offer drums will also make starter drum sets as part of their product offerings, and as mentioned they are generally affordable. You will find some upscale junior sets with more features and functions that cost more. However another option is buying a used junior drum set. Since young drummers are always upgrading to full sets, and because their junior drum kits are usually still playable, there are always plenty of used drum kits on the market. Looking on eBay for used junior drum sets is a excellent place for parents to find their child’s first drum kit.
So if you can stand the noise of your child enjoying his new drum set, but are up for introducing him to the new world of drumming, then choose a junior drum set and get them started off in the right direction.
