recommend getting an electronic drum kit.

They're about $35 - 55 dollars a month and you get the real feel of drums and the sound.

Most of my student actually rent or own electronic drum kits.

Mainly because they can put on headphones and they don't disturb anyone, and also they

don't take up as much room as an acoustic drum kit.

Electronic kits are about the same price to rent ranging from $35 - 55, maybe a little

bit more, per month

The main difference being that electronic drums you can plug in your headphones, you

have backing tracks, you have a metronome and nobody else really hears it.

Acoustic drums - you get a better feel and they're loud so everybody can hear it

The great thing about taking lessons in person is that you get immediate feedback.

If you're not sure about something or you play something that doesn't sound right, the

teacher can immediately tell you what you can do to help yourself or improve what you're

playing.

On a scale of 1-10, technique is about a 5.

The reason I say that is because it all depends on your goals, So, if your goal is to become

a professional musician, I'm gonna say you wanna spend more time on technique.

If your goal is to learn some songs, jam with your friends and just have a lot of fun on

the drums, I wouldn't spend that much time on technique at all.
