I realize it takes many years of practice to get anywhere close to them but I’m wanting to start off on the right foot (hehe). In other words I don’t want to limit myself to the style of music I will be able to play and sound I will be able to get. Seemed to be a lot of very knowledgeable people on the forums so I thought I’d ask it here. Anyone’s help is appreciated, thanks a ton in advance.
By the way the set I have been looking at is a Pearl:
Pearl Sound Check 5-Piece Drum Set with Zildjian Cymbals
also:
ddrum Diablo Player 5-Piece Drum Set
Do you guys think I should start out with cymbals that they come with or replace them immediately?
Sorry about all the questions I just want to be sure before I invest $600.
Thanks.

Hi, in my opinion, don t get a beginner's level kit if you really intend to continue and take it serious, starter kits don't last that long and later when you start gigging you may encounter servela problems. i think if you'd go for a 'vision' kit from pearl, or similar, (i have no intensiond of making any ads, i m using pearl as a comparing kit tha's all) you will have a good kit for a very long time and you can also do some decent recordings with it. later you mat go for a pro kit. basic cymbals that come with kit, well, i can say the same, they re good have something to hit on, that's all....he he, but, you can buy affordable, good sound cymbals, from zyldian, sabian and mainle....i m sure you ll find something affordable and that you can enoy for a long time.
