DS (13) has been learning drums in school and loves it. It’s his birthday soon and he’d like a drum kit.
I’d love to encourage his hobby but DH has ptsd and I’m not sure how he’d cope with drumming in the house, also we’re semi detached. We do have a summerhouse/ gym at the end of the garden though, so I could put a kit there. I don’t imagine he’d practice more than 30 minutes to an hour a day. Does that sound reasonable? Also, there seem to be quiet kits/ drum mutes/ electronic kits available. Does anyone know if they’d feel the same to DS playing them? Are they worth getting or do I bite the bullet with a kit like the one he’s learning on?
Any kit recommendations on a budget also appreciated!
The only other things he’d like are climbing shoes for when he goes climbing occasionally with his older brother (too young to be allowed in unsupervised) or a gaming pc and I’m trying to hold off on the latter.
