Yup - the forum series are entry level Pearls. Perfect for the lad.

Ya gotta add a ride cymble to that, but yeah...

What exactly is the difference between a crash and a ride?

Sandman · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2002, 02:42:50 PM »

Oh... and found this Peavey set also...

Peavey? No.

Try to stay with yer basic Pearl/Tama/Yamaha.

A crash goes "Crraaash" and the ride goes "ding ding ding". For eg., you'll usually hear the ride keeping the rhythm during choruses... and the crash is the cymbal you hear introducing the chorus. "Crraaash ding ding ding ding ding".

That'll be $20.

Ride+Crash

The first sound is a ride, the second a crash. I hope you have a good soundcard with beautiful MIDI sounds

Get him a used kit, there just as good for learning as a brand new one. My first drumset was an old ludwig that was about 15 years old when I got it. It turns out its very very rare and worth quite a bit of money. I sure wish I held on to it:( Ohhh and bigger is not better, I can get just as much sound out of a 4 piece kit as I can out of 12 piece.
