This sounds like a lesson I’m going to be learning the hard way

Good parenting is doing things the hard way.

So why not go all in with a full set of acoustic drums?

  • Do you have $800? I'm trying to get my daughter a full set of acoustic drums (though odds are her brother will use them more even though he plays clarinet and she does percussion). I've seen full sets for as little as $30 - but it doesn't take much checking to realize they are not worth it even at that price. Good sets quickly cost more, but $800 is a good starting point for a set that isn't unusable.

    • Keeping in mind that you can’t buy a new Stradivarius…

      Maybe try Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. because drum sets take up space quality drum sets and other large instruments are often priced where moving the gear is part of the payment.
