Which Electronic Drums For Granddaughter

[danrclem]

I have a granddaughter who is in the 7th grade and plays percussion for the band. She's very good and made the all state middle school band.

She wants a set of electronic drums for Christmas so she can play using headphones and not disturb the whole household. My son said he is willing to buy her an entry level set but doesn't know what to get. I found a set of Yamaha DTX400K for $340 shipped. Should he buy these or look elsewhere for a different brand? That's probably about the most he would want to spend.

Any opinions. Thanks

I did some more research and came up with Alesis Nitro. They have very good reviews for a price of right at $300 shipped. I told him that this may be the set to get.

Anything above the Costco level. The Alesis set looks nice.

Thanks for the reply. It'll probably be the Alesis.
