Thanks. Went to Bras Basah just now. The cheapest one is around $1600+. Ex for me..

Well, since I'm selling my DTXplorer and Yamaha has discontinued it, you might wanna consider too. No problems for HDB. Else I wouldn't switch to an acoustic!

Pedals-wise, you can consider all the other brands as well. Pearl Eliminators, Tama Iron Cobra, Gilbraltar or even the budget Lazer brand @ Ranking.
I personally used Yamaha pedals and never regretted getting it. Only regretted not getting the better ones (the direct drives series, the smooth action is just sick!)
Remember, if you're just starting out and especially when you're young, I don't recommend spending too much on the best gears, although its better, but at the same time if you decide to stop later, it's a waste.

Yamaha pedals are really decent. I have a stock pedal made in the mid 90s which came with my Yamaha MIJ Stage Customs. It is still very sturdy and smooth. They are easy to use and affordable. The worst pedals I used are probably Mapex pedals.

Haha. Okay. I've seen the Lazer pedals. $190 I think. Alot of money will be spent... (planning to buy a guitar in the Guitar Workshop). So I guess I'll just wait till I start to work I guess... Cause I don't think saving $5 a week gonna get me anywhere.thanks anyways. At least now I know some stuff about drums.

My advice is dun scrimp too much on buying cheapo hardware which do not last. Worse still they might break easily and cause injury. Get something decent and not too exp, such as Yamaha pedals which should be able to last u for a considerable period of time. (of cos depending on how u play). Then in the meantime continue to save up for better gear when the need comes, u can buy. Yamaha hardware are decent. If u wan other options, Pearl 1000/2000 series are good too and they go for 50% off during Swee Lee yr end sale.

Buy the tama roadpro hardware during a good sale, or the pearl 900 or 1000 series, other brandss are just simply marked up or too expensive, but if u wanna buy a pedal, i would recommend you pearl eliminator, the smoothest pedal for the choice, but if you like to go for a kick and heavy punch, iron cobra will do the job

Alrighty

Alrighty then. Thanks for the advice. Really appreciated it.

Heya. I'm back 2 years after my first post. Now, my budget is around $2000+ (or maybe lesser than that). I've seen DTXplorer. Affordable but quite big. I went to some other sites too, to find some cheap drum sets. Cheapest was $168. I forgot what brand it was, I think it was DTXplorer 900 series. But it requires a lot of repairing. But guess what, original price is $380. But sadly I didn't check what region the site was on... It was a US site. So that means I'll be buying from overseas. But i didn't buy. Any recommendations still?
