bedroom sets for 700 image
I'm a beginner looking at drum sets and i'd probably rather buy a cheap one, but I don't know what the difference would be, or how big?
Which would you suggest for a beginner?
Answer
The others all have valid points...here are my 2-cents worth:
1. What is your budget like?
You can spend as little as $299.00USD or up to $700.00 for a beginner kit. Try the two sites below for good info:

http://www.drumjunction.com/cheap_drum_sets.html
2. What kind/style of music do you like?
If you prefer rock, country, hip-hop, reggae, etc., the size of the kit and size of the individual drums & cymbals will reflect in the music. Try the above mentioned sites for various setups by the various manufacturers.
3. Where will you practice? Bedroom? Garage? Apartment?
If you live in a house, your bedroom or garage might be okay. An apartment is a different story. Apartment neighbors usually don't appreciate a drummer practicing his craft at certain hours of the day and/or night. You might want to look into an electronic drum kit. Try these sites:

4. Are you willing to start with a modest kit, then add on to it?
You can start with any kit and add onto it as you progress and/or have more money to spend. As someone pointed out earlier, a good basic kit will have a bass drum, bass drum pedal, snare drum & stand, 1 or 2 toms & mounts toms, a floor tom, a pair of hi-hat cymbals & stand, a ride cymbal & stand, a crash cymbal & stand, a stool/throne, a pair of drumsticks.
Remember, cheap and/or expensive doesn't always mean crappy! Ebay is a great source to get more info and to compare prices. Also try local music stores, check your local craigslist, ask other drummers if they have stuff they want to get rid of.
Hope this helps, Best of Luck!

What would be a beautiful color for my basement?
Lee Ann T
It's 1200 sq. ft. I have 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and a living area of about 700 sq. ft. It is a walk-out basement with 3 bay windows and a set of french doors. I'm looking for a color for the living area. My three boys don't want anything girlie! I just want a beautiful color that would go with tan or mocha tile.
Answer
To keep it open looking I'd choose a buttery yellow. Check out Sherwin Williams Luminescence line., "Corona" or "French Vanilla" are both nice with white trim and don't look girly, just fresh and cheerful.
