take your time to make your decision, no hurry.. great advice and recommendations given by the others, the usual suspects for first drum kits all been listed above (stagestar la, RT la, Mapex Q la...). do go down and try them out, make sure you like the sound, quality of the kit/hardware. one man's meat is another man's poison. choose wad YOU like.
but then again, assuming that you are a hdb dweller here like most of us.. do take time to consider the noise volume. no point buying a kit and letting it rot there cos u cannot play it due to the volume. and also no point buying a full maple kit with 22" kick drum only to muffle the hell out of it (masking tape, newspaper, pillow, etc).

haha, dh bro has proved a cheapo kit can sound good too.

its all technology and science bros.

Yup, with proper tuning, cheap kits can sound great too...however, durability will be an issue with cheap wood...for example, the bearing edges might wear faster. Also, with cheap wood, shells may not stay in shape for as long.

gammy... trust that your drumming has never been the same since the kit sounds so musical... 8)
