  Hey, would like to ask those drummers here, what's the difference between Ludwig drumset and Yamaha drumset?
  
  I played for four times on both drumset and cant find the difference (don't tell me the difference lies on the spelling of their brand), and which drumset you drummers recommend (between Ludwig and Yamaha, other drumsets brand/model are welcome too)? Cause intend to get one, my budget is not any more than $1100. Thanks.
  
  Many thanks in advance!

  I think Pearl is also well-known for its quality but can be slightly expensive.
  
  For cymbals it would have to be Zildjian.
  
  The drummer in my first band got a set for SGD$550. But it was quite rubbish.

  Ya both Yamaha and Ludwig comes with Zildjian for cymbals (if i'm not wrong)

  Try Bras Basah Complex.
  
  I think Swee Lee Music Company has annual sales and prices do get cut by really alot. An Epiphone which cost $700+ usually, cost $400+ during the sale.

  Thought stated above? 1100? or below? I can go higher, but parents confirm make noise. By then, they will be my drumset instead.

  ok...
  
  I'm a drummer like u..been one since 15...almost 10 years now...the most important thing of buying a drumset is the seat...are u comfortable? Does it give u a nice height and does your ankle sprain when pedalling? Once your seat is confirmed, test the snare first...cymbals..insist of Zildjian la
  
  My teacher who is from the band, Aphelion tells me that the best drums are in this order
  
  1) DW
  2) Tama
  3) Pearl
  4) Yamaha
  5) Ludwig
  
  I believe Ludwig drumsets are assembled with Sabian cymbals or brackets for Sabian cymbals..
  
  i think the best brand for u is DDRUM..but i dunno whether SL stocks DDRUM

  Man, you seriously help me! I love you man!!
  
  Thanks again!
  
  But I know for Ludwig cymbals, I can ask for a change.
  
  Correct me if I'm wrong mate, but I heard that Ludwig is famous for its snare?
