My 11 year old son came home with this First Act kit that he bought off a classmate.
He bought with $50 of his own money.
He's starting young!

Literally his 'First Act' as a drum collector. You know he's not going to stop with the First Act kit. He'll be looking to upgrade soon enough!
You must be proud!

Fantastic!! I saved and saved for my first set also! I was about 12 years old. Saved $300 for a Percussion Plus!

Haha that's funny.
He'll probably now go on a discussion forum for kids under 15 and ask the opinions of others, ie., "I was at school today and came home with this kit. Not exactly sure what I got but I bought the whole lot just for the snare. My girlfriend isn't gonna be happy...." :)

Brilliant Idea. I have to give my sons some money, tell them what I want them to buy so when the wife asks me, I say "the boys bought that, not me". Nice touch starting with the First act, but I imagine he will somehow start showing up with highend vintage drums. You're a genius DionneDrummer!

It's in the genes I think... My son is primarily a guitarist.. however yesterday he posted this pic of his developing snare collection.. He uses these mainly in the studio but of late has also been gigging behind the kit.
Cheers

FatherTime - hmmmm, "he bought it, not me" . . I guess that's an option now! :)
