Brushes (for a softer sound on snare and cymbals) cost $15-$30. Make sure the drum set you are buying includes the hardware -- the stands, pedal and adjustable stool (often called a throne). Stands run $50-$150 or more each; a bass drum pedal can be $50-$250 or more; and a drummer's throne can run $50-$200 or more. If you buy a used drum kit, you might need to replace all the drum heads at an average cost of $90-$110 for the set.
