I need a drum set for my band (just to practice or perhaps if good enough thana use for gigs). It needs to be from like 300-400, please if anyones of you know of good ones please share. Also has anyone heard of adams percussion, if so are they good? Are there any companies that would be the best choice?

no never heard of Adams, they are probably shit, I know it will pain you to hear this but you are better getting a semi decent kit from a respectable company like Pearl or Tama, try the Exports or Swingstar/Rockstar and try sec hand stuff.

adams are disgustingly shit. they are made of brass colored pressed tin. you can fold one in half with your fingers. westbury drums are pretty good if you can find someone to tune them. and also you nees some remo skins cause the originals suck

I got a percussion plus, its actually pretty awesome.

A cheap kit is going to give you problems. You can make cheap drums sound good, but shitty cheap cymbals will always sound like shit. Pedals on those kits are generally rickety too. I own a Tama Swingstar and the pedal is shit, along with the cymbals.I regularly turn the cymbals inside out with my bare hands by accident. I like the shells and hardware though. You can't buy an entry level kit and expect it to be giggable.

Adams percussion, never used never touched, except one of my practice pads It's actually a pretty decent pad.

Overall, if you buy something cheap, you're losing. A better kit is a lot easier to upgrade, for example, replacing cymbals and skins. Just buy a "base" kit to build off - mine cost me 900 AUD (on sale, normally 1200 AUD) while I could have bought a 300 AUD beginer's kit that couldn't be improved. That would have been 300 bucks down the drain.

Buy secondhand. Mooch of your drummer pals. Haggle.
