Welcome larry

How minature is minature?. Do you mean a 4pc Kit as minature eg. 10", 14" Toms, 14" snare plus a 16" or 18" Bass Drum?.

If you have just started out on drums (learning now) - always get a 5pcs standard kit for a start.

hey bro, its alright. just empty your room, have a bed, and a table and the rest. shove a drumset in. keeps people out from the room because they have to squeze in and out haha. its your own private space.

I guess you mean either (1) A Pearl Rythmn Traveller or (2) A Fusion Kit with the 10" & 12" tom - - - -

Actually I like the Tama Imperial Star too - The 1st time I saw it at Swee Lee I thought to myself (What a small Kit) - then someone just happen to sat on it to test it - Wow.www it's really nice......this is a very nice kit to buy.

THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!
but i really have no idea. new in drums.
dont really noe wat all of u are toking about!
wahahah! i'm going over to swee lee soon. =)


by the way, anyone noes about arbiter drums?

 

[snowflier]

u might want to ask drum_hobbyist cos he has a similar set of drums as Arbiter, but his is the Purecussions brand. can prob do a search, he has pics in the "show your kit" section.

both are hard to get here...few pple have them so if u're waiting for 2ndhand...be prepared to wait a long while. which leaves u with shipping them in, and it can go beyond a K to do so.

I still think getting a Rhythm Traveller is still the best for beginners with space/sound constraint..

+ you can use mesh heads

Arbiters are way too expensive for entry-level kits..

larry you could go search the Show Us Your Kits thread and find some pictures of the RT.. or just google them.

 

[caijunlong]

Haha! I entered this thread thinking that you're talking about those really miniature drums(size of my palm probably) that are sold at Penin.

Anyway, like what Jamella said, RT is cheaper. If space is a problem but budget is not, you can always get an electronic drumset. It will be much costly than RT but you can keep the volume under control. On the other hand, the feel you get from an electronic kit might not be close to that of a real drums set.

Yes! thanks. i used to go for electronic drum set. but i was told that
the feel is not there. thanks!

Okay.. But you still have to do your research on the RT and picture how it'll fit in your room.

Getting a 2nd hand RT would be advisable.
There was one going for $300 last month i think on the drums buy/sell section.
