Set in question is a cheapo CB 5pc with 12,13,16 toms, 14 snare and 22 bass, purchased used. with crap plasticy clear noname heads on everything but the snare, which has a remo coated ambassador. The snare is the only thing that sounds remotely decent.
Played mostly by young teens and beat on occasionally by their stressed out parents in our basement only. So ideally we need something suited for beginners, easy enough to tune, durable, affordable... Obviously it won't ever sound fantastic but perhaps we can get a sound we can bare to listen to and not break the bank doing it.
Right now I'm thinking Remo and debating between coated emperors or clear pinstripes on toms. Emps better sound? Pinstripes more muffled and better for beginners? I've read a bit but am more confused now than when I started. Suggestions for the bass?
Thanks
