1. Gammon Percussion Full Size Complete Adult 5 Piece Drum Set with Cymbals Stands Stool and Sticks, Black

The Gammon Percussion is a great beginner 5 piece drum set for people of all ages, anyone who has a passion for drumming can dive right into it by using the Gammon Percussion. The firm offers full product support and also supports many local music events. The assembling process is quite confusing and frustrating because nothing is pre-built. You will have to assemble each and every part of the set in order to bring it to a working condition.

Apart from the assembling process; the drum set is excellent for any user. If you are looking into this drum set then you are either just starting or you have a tight budget. And so It is important to keep in mind that this is not a professional drum set so it doesn’t produce the “professional studio quality” sound, however, it doesn’t produce a “toy” type sound either.

2. GP Percussion GP50BL Complete Junior Drum Set (Blue, 3-Piece Set)

The GP Percussion GP50BL is an excellent 3 piece drum set for kids of all ages, which is why it is called the “junior drum set”. Even adults can play the GP50BL but it is clearly not for professional use and definitely not for studio use. With a glossy blue color finish, a 10″ cymbal & high hat and bass drum pedal it truly is an experience to play the GP50BL. The drum set comes with a standard junior throne, so if you are an adult you might have problems fitting on the throne as it is designed for kids.

Overall the build quality is excellent however, there have been a few complaints stating the pedal screws tend to become loose over time. Nevertheless, the drum set is meant for kids and it easily lasts for over two years for the majority of the customers. At the low price point, it is an excellent value for money.

3. Mendini by Cecilio Complete Full Size 5-Piece Adult Drum Set with Cymbals, Pedal, Throne, and Drumsticks, Metallic Blue, MDS80-BL

The assembly isn’t very user-friendly but if you read and follow the instructions then you should not encounter any major issues. The build quality is pretty impressive however, there have been multiple complaints relating to the cymbals. A majority of these complaints claim that the cymbals don’t make the right noise (or that it sounds like the back of a frying pan). Nevertheless, it is a great product, to begin with, and it definitely serves the purpose considering it is a drum set for teenagers and not for professional drummers.

The drum set doesn’t come with cymbals, stands, or kick pedal, and throne, while it is a good investment for anyone who’s just started getting into professional music, you should consider an upgrade after a while. There aren’t any major issues with the drum set except for the fact that the packaging is done very poorly, overall it is a great product.
