| Like what kind of wood is the best to make a drumset , what makes it good also, this is off topic but im new to drumming and always hear people say a "warmer tone" what does that mean? |

| Well, first off, there's no such thing as "best." Most people prefer maple or birch drums, but there are many popular choices for very-good reasons -- ash, mahogany/kapur, bubinga, jatoba, oak, etc. For beginners, the most important thing I would consider is the quality of the hardware (stands, mounts, etc), because drums still sound like drums, but you need good-quality hardware to keep everything together and working properly. So get an affordable drumset, put decent drumheads on it, add nice cymbals as you can and add good hardware as you can. "Warmer tones" often refers to drums with longer sustains and lower tones. |

| Agreed on the hardware. a lot of beginner and intermediate kits have shells that are close to the same, but the hardware is junk on some of em. |

The previous submissions are right on target. As a beginner, you should look for a set that has sturdy hardware and shells the are not damage (especially from water). Most wrapped drums can be made to look pretty good with a little work. Don't get caught up on exotic veneers.
Great drummers don't come from great drumsets, they come from practice.
Good luck |

| it's something you just have to figure out for yourself. go to a music store and play on them a little bit. you'll find the sound that you like, and that is what matters. everyone has different tastes |
