We were (somewhat) lucky on that end. Her drum teacher sold us a simple drum set for $500 a couple of years ago and we've just added bits to it since then. Considering how much drum sets can cost, that was a bargain.

But we also had two incomes at the time. We're down to one now.

A snare drum can cost $500, easy.

Yeah, this is definitely not a high-end drum kit, but she's a kid and she's not going to be playing gigs any time soon.
