The easiest place to purchase a drum set is at a music store. But there are many other sources: Craigslist, Online music sources such as Amazon, local music stores. When I am looking for new drum equipment my first stop is always Craigslist. It’s quick, easy and you can do your search in the comfort of your own home. You will likely pay significantly less on CL than at a music store and I can help steer to a good purchase.
