- Purchasing A Beginner Drum Set
By: Melville Jackson | - Why should one buy a beginner drum set?
If your kid wants to start drumming, you may consider buying a beginner drum set. A junior drum set is not a toy. It is a proper set that enables the young learner to enjoy drumming lessons and ensures a smooth transition to a full size drum set once the drummer is old enough to do so. One of the key aspects of drumming is coordination. It is easier to achieve hand and feet coordination if one starts learning on a proper drum set.

- Snare, Cymbals, Stands And Accessories Setup Guide Part Five
By: Ronald Black | - On a regular right handed kit setup, the ride cymbal should be placed above the floor tom on the right side of your kit. Because the ride cymbal is made to be played on its top and not its edge, like the crash cymbal, it should not be placed up as high as the crash cymbal. Be careful not to place it low enough so that it knocks against the top of your floor tom, either. Be a little Goldilocks again, ind find just the right height for you.
