$1500 to spend on everything...what to buy?

I need a drumset, lol.

I need everything except the throne which I have. Cymbals, hardware...everything. I've played drums as a fill-in for 30+ yrs, but never owned a drumset. I'm a guitar player but always loved playing drums.

Anyway, I want to record and play my own drums. But, also would like to use them for gigging occassionally.

Since I know little about drums and hardware, I'm uncomfortable in the used market...unless I get another drummer who knows more to come along I guess.

Anyway... What would a "real" drummer get with that budget.

Thanks
 
I'm sure there are other options, but after looking for an affordable quality drum kit the last month there was on that kept popping up consistently. You should be able to purchase a new Yamaha Stage Custom kit with hardware and a middle of the road Zildjian cymbal pack for $1,500.00. For the money the value is hard to beat.
5-piece kit hardware included - 799.00/899.00
zildjian cymbal pack 599.00-699.00
 
I would agree, you definitely couldn't go wrong with that set up. Check Guitar Center online in the "used gear" section.
 
The Yamaha Stage Customs are great birch kits.
The Sonor Force 3007 kit is all maple, great hardware and sounds great.
Zildjian A's are all around great pies
Sonor Force 2007 kit is all birch and an excellent kit as well.

I own the 3007 kit a Zildjian A's. Love them

Good luck
