If you have the basic drum set, you will have a four or five-piece drum set. This means that you will have a bass drum, a snare drum, two mounted toms and one floor tom. If you can, try buying a medium or professional quality drum pedal and drum seat. A beginner drum seat and pedals may break easily. You should also research a bit about the drum kits that are available in the market. Compare the quality by taking a look at reviews and also check the prices. Go for a set that you are comfortable with and also go for a store with a knowledgeable staff in order for you to get a good advice on what kind of drum kit you should go for. Go for reputable drum manufacturers, such as Pearl, Yamaha, Ludwig, Tama, and Pulse just to name a few. Although the cymbals and the other hardware that comes with the set will not really be of superb quality, you can always upgrade it later on. If you are already an experienced drummer, then upgrading the cymbals and hardware are a must.
