I will echo what everyone else is saying. Go full size at the least.
Think of it like learning web-dev. Would you rather start out learning
with FrontPage, or Eclipse & (languageofchoice)? ;)
As far as brand, I am a loyal Tama man myself. You can't really go
wrong with the brand names.
++ on that.
a suggestion from my son's instructor.
MP3 player + earbuds + hearing protection
"load up the player with 'Drum-instructive' tunes and go sick."

Plastic buckets are the big thing in Portland it seems, I know a
couple bands that use "improvised percussion". They actually get
surprisingly quiet when you ask them about sourcing of their buckets.
Seems that each person has a source/brand that they love and guard it
fiercely. Not all buckets so
I'm sure her teacher has already covered it but for completeness sake,
I'll mention that you should make sure that she has headphones as
well. She'll have plenty of time when she's older to destroy her
hearing on her own going to loud shows.

Full-size kit (growth being the key here).
As others have noted, take her along. See what feels right.
don't worry about brand right now. She'll grow and learn and the kit
will grow with her.

here's my two cents after being in a touring heavy metal band (singer
not drummer)..
electronic kits are hard on the wrist joints because they rebound a
lot more than acoustic drums do.

If she is a good drummer as you say, she will out grow the junior set
pretty quick. I'd spring for a full set. You can get used drums very

Awesomeness. My suggestion when shopping for an instrument is
basically the same for all instruments: go in, try a bunch, find one

She's been taking drum lessons for around 8 months now and loves it. The most

My twins birthday is coming up and we're wanting to get one of them a drum set.
I have no idea what to look for. She's turning 8 so it's like she's between a
junior set and a full size? Should I bite bullet and get a full size? Is
Gammon a decent brand? Any suggestions?
Thanks
