<p>From a performance perspective, the set offers <strong>everything you need</strong> to start playing, even the drum sticks and the adjustable stool. You will receive a 16” bass drum which comes with the drum pedal.</p>

<h3>Alternatives to the Gammon Starter Kit</h3>
<p>If you are unsure about the <strong>Gammon 5-Piece Junior Starter Drum Kit</strong> you can compare it to the <strong>Music Alley 3 Piece Beginners Drum Kit</strong>. Although you can start playing with both sets, the 3 pieces of the junior kids is not as complex and can represent a minimalistic alternative.</p>
<p>The <strong>5-piece drum set</strong> is perfect if your kid is planning to improve the skills and build the base towards professional sets which might take playability to the top level.</p>
<p>The <strong>3-piece set</strong> is much more conservatory as it offers a much more limited approach to drumming. Although you could still learn to play on the 3-piece set, it is just not as versatile as the 5-piece design.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7595 " src="https://newpercussionist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/20x20.png" alt="" width="20" height="20"></p>

<p>In terms of sound quality, both sets are made with real wooden drum shells which can also play a role with durability. Both sets come with a simplistic and intuitive design which makes them easy to set up.</p>
<p>It should not take you more than 15 minutes to set up the drums. So which one should you choose?</p>
<p>If you are going with a surprise gift and are unsure of the reaction of the children, the 3-piece set might represent the safe option.</p>
<p>If you are looking towards a complex approach which closely resembles <a href="https://newpercussionist.com/best-professional-drum-set/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">professional options</a>, the 5-piece set should be a good alternative. The good news is that both sets are highly affordable.</p>
