Beginner drum recs for 9 yr old
Posted by meeple on 12/4/17 at 6:42 pm00
He’s always drumming around. Thinking about a bongo drum. Anyone have any recs?

Agreed. Anything in the $500-700 range will net you a great "beginner" drum kit. All of the major brands put out decent products.
Pearl
Tama ( this one comes with cymbals)
Gretsch
Yamaha
Most of these kits come with hardware( stands, etc) but you'll want to look into cymbals or cymbal packs to complete the kit
Zildjian
Sabian
Meinl
I also give drum lessons if interested.

My first kit was a cheap electric set which I think my parents liked because I could plug in headphones in my room and they didn't have to hear it. You can get some basic electric kits for pretty cheap. $200-400. It's not as good as a real kit in terms of versatility but not a bad gig to start out on.
If you're not looking for a full drum set then bongos would be fine but a Cajon might be a little more up your alley.

Started with a yamaha snare drum kit from a local pawn shop, and parents signed me up for lessons. Didn't get a kit for another year (they wanted to see if I was really into it, i suppose). Ended up getting me a kit from another pawn shop. When I was starting out, there wasn't an entry level market like there is now.

Has he expressed interest in taking up the instrument, or are you just trying to find a creative channel for for his energy?
If you’re serious about getting him started, you can buy a high quality used kit for $200-400 online or at any music shop or guitar center—Tama, Pearl, Yamaha all make sturdy beginner-intermediate kits. I started on a Tama Rockstar at 10 or 12 and it held up well until I traded it in to buy a new set of Starclassics when I was in high school.
I’d avoid a “beginners set” that you’d find at a box store, as he will quickly outgrow it.
All of the major cymbal companies have preconfigured packs with hats, crash and ride. New they’ll probably be about $200-$300 depending on what line you get.
Let me know if you have any specific questions. If you search around, a great starting setup will be around $500-$600, that will last a while before he upgrades, and if he doesn’t take to it, you’ll be able to sell it without taking a huge loss.
