I realize that this post has NOTHING to do with vintage kits but since most drummers are knowledgable about drums "in general" I was hoping that I could get some quick responses. Here goes.................

A good friend of mine has a 12 year-old daughter that's very gifted at the keyboard. Recently, she's shown an interest in playing the drums and my friend wants to pick up a "starter kit" for her. His thinking is that if she decides that drumming "isn't for her", he'll only be out a minimal amount of money. If she continues on, he can always upgrade to an American Made "professional style" kit.

He's found a TKO kit and a Percussion Plus kit, both in "like new" condition and both being offered at a minimal amount of money. Since I know absolutely nothing about non-American made drums, "starter kits" or otherwise, I'm trying to find out if there's any difference between the two makes and which one would be a better buy, price considered equal.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS to all in advance for your time and feedback. band2
