This is something I wanted to figure out after asking if I could make a kids drum set sound good. I wanted to see how much money it took to upgrade a used drum kit I found on craigslist. The kit is a basic beginner drum set you would find at any music store. It's a Sound Percussion Labs kit and came with the stock snare drum and Agazarian cymbals. I started off with tuning the stock heads, then replacing them with new heads and upgrading the cymbals a few times. Pretty simple to do, but kinda pricey!
