    Graunch minor would like a drum kit for Christmas... She is 13, has been having lessons for half a year or so but is obviously a beginner.

    I'm looking to spend about 400 pounds, but know nothing about the subject. Should I go for a bottom of the range Roland who at least are a brand I recognise, or are there others I should look at? Any must have features/pointless gimmicks?

    Thank you lovely people.

    As you said, the best Roland or Yamaha you can afford as they're expandable. I would go second hand.

    This is a bit late but Roland or Yamaha. I'd lean towards Roland. I had a roland TD-6 for years and it worked perfectly. My cousin still uses the brain in his band - must be 10+ years now that it's been used. I also think the sounds/drum samples are a bit better on the Roland. I'm not sure about the newer ones but the more money you spend get's better feeling pads or triggers. The brain (computer box) remains the same for several models.

    Factor in buying good, closed back, over ear headphones so you can really hear the drums.

    Some thing like this would be ace, mesh head snare is so much better to play on than a hard rubber pad.
