There are three main categories of drum equipment;

1. Budget drum sets
2. Semi-pro drum equipment
3. Pro merchandise.

If you are looking to buy a starter kit, then consideration to quality is important. The semi-pro kits are improving all the time. The pro kit is naturally the most expensive, generally made from maple or birch. Some manufacturers, such as Tama, Pearl, DW and Mapex are introducing stunning finishes using unusual and exotic woods, eg bubinga, mahogany and oak are also used but are much less common.
