As Christmas approaches we get a lot of enquiries about starter drumkits... Its many parents worst nightmare when their child announces that they want to learn to play the drums, but it really is no cause for concern!! We can supply complete drumkits from as little as £199, containing everything you need to get started (usually 5 drums, cymbals and stands).CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR RANGE OF COMPLETE STARTER DRUMKITS. The Drumkit pictured above ( CB DRUMS ) is priced at just £199, and many drummers have learnt to play on these kits.
Drums arent as loud as most people expect when playing at home, but if you find that you really need to keep the noise down, a set of rubber practice pads over the drums and cymbals allow you to play almost silently.CLICK HERE TO VIEW SILENCER PADS.
