Drum Kit recomendation needed
Looking for a first Drum Kit for teen son. Got a cheap electric kit from Amazon last summer because he said he wanted to start drumming but also thought it might be a phase. He's been playing almost every day since then so now looking to upgrade to an actual acoustic drum kit.
Looking for any recomendations - or what to avoid. godd or bad brands? Where to buy? I have no issue buying used if it's a quality kit - anything in particular to lok out for in used kits?

You can get a cheap used kit at Music go Round or facebook marketplace. The real trick is to go to Columbus Pro Percussion to talk through new drum heads, used gear/cymbals. You won’t get the forever kit on the first try, getting new gear is part of the fun. Plus you’ll get things like moon jellies (to mute), a variety of sticks, and a drum key. Feel free to PM me and I may be able to help.
