I don’t know what your “stick” standard is.

It is very complicated to talk about the selection of drums in detail. To keep it short, let’s take a look first What kind of music do you play, what kind of sound do you like (for example, which band's drum sound and which band's drummer do you prefer), and then choose the material, thickness, size, drum head, cymbal that suits you according to your requirements ,hardware and so on.

If you really want to know, please explain your preferences first.

BTW, more than 4,000 is really not enough based on my view of the stick. Of course, the choice of drums must match the music. Not the most expensive drums are suitable for all music. Many studio drummers will also use what we think of as "junk drums" to match the feeling of certain music. Of course, for you, you may only have For a drum set, it is natural to choose it to match the most common type of music you play most.

Answer corresponding to your preference:

If you mean that you like punk, like Green day or Blink 182. The sound is harder (in fact, Travis Barker’s sound is better than Cool is harder, because it uses Acrylic Shell, which is not practical for you to choose.) Therefore, for the sake of cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to use Pearl’s Export series, which also uses maple shell (at this price, Not many drums are actually made of 100% maple). Generally speaking, maple sounds warmer, fuller and more moist. However, with suitable drum heads and tuning, you can also create a harder sound, and maple can give you the maximum sound. Flexibility to play different types of music, even if your taste changes one day.

As for setting up, you can use the more traditional punk method, a large-sized bass drum, a Tom Tom that is not too deep, and two Floor Toms. If you like Green Day, you can choose a chrome military drum drum. These are not big problems. It will be no problem to make changes after you have played for a long time

As for drum heads, I strongly recommend Rem’s powerstroke for bass drums. Others can be based on preference, but Remo’s empero can be recommended as tom and drum heads. Snare's hitting side, ***Ning's side is fine if you like it.

In terms of pedals, inflexibility is not a problem. Practice is to become more comfortable. If you want to make the investment all at once, it is recommended to buy a better pedal. However, the general practice of drummers is not to use very high pedals at the beginning. The pedals are just slowly upgraded with the development of technology. If you want to get it right at once, it is recommended to use a single pedal of Tama Cobra or DW 5000. Since you are not playing metal, double pedaling is not needed for the time being.

Crash slices are very flexible. It’s all a matter of personal preference. I won’t make any further recommendations. However, the basic settings are two crashes. I personally think this is more important. Two different crashes are indeed not monotonous. Compared with a single crash, the whole music will be enriched a lot. A ride, hi-hat, this is the basic setting. You can add a china later, and then you can add more as you grow. Usually punk Drummers rarely use splah or other special effects cymbal, so I won’t consider it for now.

Then there are drumsticks. The most important thing is to choose one that is comfortable. I personally use Mike Portnoy's signature drumsticks from Pro Mark, which are based on 5A, but are longer and lighter than regular 5A, with nylon heads. Because I am relatively small, this kind of drum stick suits me very well. If you want to play cool, you can choose Ahead drum sticks. They are very durable and strong. However, it is generally best to use them with gloves, otherwise they will be slippery. Secondly, if the strength hurts the hand, the taste will be more metallic. I rarely use them anyway, mainly because wearing gloves is cumbersome.

I think about what else I missed, well, then there is the hardware, such as brackets, etc. Don’t underestimate this part, the drum is a singing instrument, anything that affects the singing All problems will directly affect the tone, so every step must not be sloppy. Hardware is in direct contact with the drum, so the choice is not to be cheap.

Then there is the tuning. In addition to the characteristics of the drum being affected by the material, the most important thing is the tuning. Let’s not talk about this issue now, it is not the focus.

The Set Ups given above should be higher than your budget. I am not sure how much exactly, but I believe they are quite cost-effective. In order to take care of your budget, I will say that they can be reduced. For the floor tom part, you can temporarily remove one, and you can temporarily remove one of the crash. You can choose an ordinary Tama or pearl for the pedal. The hitting surface of the drum head must be good, because it will directly affect the feel. If the ring surface is not temporarily available, The performance could do with a bit of make do. These are the things that I can think of for the time being that can be reduced.

There is another very important thing that I almost forgot, which is the choice of drum stool. You must choose one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height and the most comfortable shape for you. You must try this often, because it is just a It's hard to feel it after one or two beats. It's best to alternate between single and double pedaling during testing. If you try for a longer time, an uncomfortable drum stool will make you tired quickly.

OK, that’s about it. You can check the price first and then ask if you have any questions.

By the way, you don’t need to look at the online quotation. The price given by the manufacturer to the agent is generally much lower than that, nearly half, at least in North America. In mainland China, I believe the price given by the agent. It must be quite a bit lower, because this is the norm no matter where you are. So you can know the most accurate price by asking the buyer. Remember, you must negotiate.
