In this article we will discuss some of the best acoustic drum sets which are available to buy today in 2020. As you might already know, a drum set can cost anything from a couple of hundred dollars to almost $10,000 depending on the quality and brand. In this article we will cater to all budgets from inexpensive drum kits to professional-level sets.

One thing to understand before we get into the drum set reviews is that some kits discussed with be shell packs only and others will be complete drum sets. A shell pack is typically when you buy just the drums alone. You can purchase a shell pack of any amount of drums and they will come complete with drum heads and hoops, and sometimes tom mounts. With shell packs a full set of hardware is not included. This means that you will have to purchase your own stands, such as snare stands and cymbal stands or racks, separately.

If on the other hand you want to purchase an acoustic drum set with hardware included, then you needn’t worry. We have you covered here too. Some of the drum sets on our list even come with cymbals as part of the deal. Let’s look at some of the contenders.
