With the Startone Star Drum Set Studio ‑BK, even the most price-conscious novice drummers can afford the complete package – everything they need to play their first beats, straight after unpacking and setting up. The kit consists of a five-piece shell set with a 20" bass drum, a 10" and a 12" tom, a 14" floor tom, and a 14" snare drum. On top of all that, it comes with a double-braced hardware set consisting of a straight cymbal stand, a hi-hat stand, a snare stand, a foot pedal, and a drum stool – of course, budding drummers also get a two-piece brass cymbal set comprising a 13" hi-hat and a 15" crash/ride. We have even thrown in the first pair of sticks!
Despite its unbeatable price, the Startone Star Drum Set Studio ‑BK offers many features that users would expect from much more expensive packages. These include a snare throw-off with adjustable wire tension, tom mounts with memory clamps, knurled legs on the floor tom for secure positioning, bass drum legs with rubber feet for hard floors and twist-out spikes for carpet, a bass drum pedal with single chain and adjustable spring tension for fast, direct power transmission, and a tilt adjustment for the lower hi-hat cymbal. The pedals for the hi-hat and bass drum are made from black anodised metal – so they not only look really cool, but also match the black foiled shells perfectly. Smart logo decals round off this great-looking set.
The unbeatable price of the Star Drum Set Studio ‑BK means that Startone is unequivocally appealing to absolute beginners who want to get a feel for drumming without having to invest too much straight away. The set contains all the most important components for learning the fundamentals or simply playing along to one's favourite songs for fun. As the bass drum and floor tom are one size smaller in the "Studio" configuration than in the "Standard" version, the kit can also be installed at a lower height and in a smaller space. This makes it particularly suitable for kids and younger drummers who aren't sure if they're really going to stick with it (pun intended!). All in all, this is a sensationally affordable set for practising at home, for jamming together, or for making a teenager's bedroom a little bit louder.
The Startone brand is exclusive to Thomann and was established in 2005 in order to offer high-quality, playable instruments for ambitious beginners even in the lowest price bracket. This resulted in a steadily growing range of wind instruments for beginners, which has since expanded to include keyboard and stringed instruments, accordions, and even drum sets. The product range combines proven quality with low prices – and Thomann naturally provides a full three-year warranty on all Startone instruments. The brand's mission is to always provide the motivated beginner with a reliable, good-quality first instrument at an unbeatable price.
Whether it's Pop, Rock, Funk, or Blues – with Startone's versatile shell configuration, there are no limits to what our next generation of musicians might do. It provides a solid foundation for beginners, and is equally suited to practising at home as it is for up-and-coming garage bands taking their first steps. Each set can also be expanded as required with additional cymbals, or modified or upgraded with high-quality heads and skins from brand-name manufacturers. Our tip: Use some good-sized cushions or a blanket as a damper in the bass drum – and install the set on a carpet (there are even dedicated drumming carpets), which will not only slightly improve the acoustics, but also prevent the drums from slipping if things get too heated.
