Cheap drum kits share similar features. Most come with five drums (bass, snare, and three toms), a hi-hat cymbal and a crash cymbal, and hardware to hold everything together. The cymbals, hardware, and drum heads in cheap drum kits may be of lesser quality than the drum shells, but they're all good enough to get you going and easy enough to upgrade when you're ready. The range of wood types that go into the drum shells in cheap drum kits includes birch, beech, poplar, mahogany, and nato. Drum shells on good cheap drum kits are made with layers, or plies, of wood that are fused together; the number and thickness of the plies affects the sound. Novice drummers of any age will get hours of playing satisfaction with the cheap drum kits on our list.
