Star Drum Set Standard -BK : Value for money starter set

My daughter has had the Startone Star Drum Set for a year now. She had completed a few months of drumming lessons at that stage. For a 10 year old beginner, this drum set has been the ideal starter kit. It's not too big, but it's also not a small toy either. We didn't want to spend too much just in case she decided that drumming wasn't exactly her thing. Thanks in no small part to her teacher, and this excellent drum kit, she's progressing nicely.

I've read other reviews stating that this set can take a long time to setup. It does take at least an hour to get the main parts together and then then another 30 mins of tightening & tuning. From my experience with other drum kits, that's about right when building from out of the box. Just make sure you have plenty of time and space to work in.

Once assembled you'll find that the drum kit is well built and sturdy. I was initially concerned with the durability of the plastic heads but they have survived being bashed enthusiastically on a daily basis for 1 year now. Our drum kits does get moved around a lot, which is not ideal, and we've had no major issues. Now that my daughter is progressing with her drumming grades, we're going to add to the kit a larger ride cymbal and boom stand. This startone drum set will be the foundation of her drum kit for years to come.

I do recommend this as a superb, value for money, starter kit. You would find it hard to find a similar, good quality 2nd hand one for the same price. Do consider getting ear protection for the drummer when ordering though!
