No you don’t. The essentials to begin with are: sticks, practice pad or snare drum, music stand and metronome. You can start drum lessons and begin your search for a drum set at the same time! It is however much more enjoyable to have a drum set to play on at home and We recommend you getting one within the first couple of months.

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.
