I just finished building my studio, and well, no studio is complete without a drum set. I mean...am I right or what?
I also want to obviously learn how to play the drums too. My questions are:
1. I am looking at either Pearl or Tama, no other brands unless someone can convince me otherwise. I see some really cheap Pearl kits that are 4-500 bucks. Are these junk and not worth the money or decent kits? This is the kit that I would LIKE to buy because it's awesome, but maybe it's not right for a beginner. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EXX728DBC-21
2. Is it smart for a beginner to start out on a really simple kit or is a double bass kit linked above okay to start on with developing the skills to utilize it to it's potential as my skills progress?
3. If that answer is to keep it simple, how easy or is it worth expanding on one of the cheaper kits? Could I add more toms and a second kick for example? Or when that time comes should I just sell the small cheap kit and buy something else?
4. Tama seems to be a bit more pricey than Pearl and I don't see a double kick kit listed. Any reason why I should pick one brand over the other?
5. How much extra floor space does a double kick kit take over a single kick? Right now I have about a 9x9 square set aside of floor space for the drums.
6. Where should a new drummer start out on as far as self teaching? You Tube? Books that you recommend?
