What's the best beginner drum kit under £900?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
The Gretsch Energy 22" Drum Kit is the strongest beginner pick here at £829, because it includes hardware, cymbals and bags. That makes it a more straightforward starting point than a shell pack.
Starting from scratch, I'd favour the Gretsch Energy package. Its included hardware, cymbals and bags mean fewer separate purchases to organise. Check the exact contents before ordering, particularly whether a stool and sticks are included.
