Will a snare stand work, or will the drums need to be on a tabletop? If a snare stand will work, can you recommend one?

The DD-65 is designed to be used either on table top or on a snare stand. There are three holes on the bottom designed to accept the three prongs of the three arms on a snare stand. The kit plays MUCH better on a snare stand. However, in my case at least, it falls over easily because it is very top heavy. You have to be very careful. The DD-65 is quite heavy. The stand I bought (I live in Costa Rica) was the only one available from a local music store. It has no name as far as I can see. So, I cannot really recommend any particular stand. There are lots of videos on Youtube showing the DD-65 mounted on a snare stand. Maybe some of them recommend a particular stand.

I have a Ludwig snare stand. Any standard snare stand will work well. If you really want to have fun, pick up a Simmons DA200S drum amp. I highly recommend this amp as well.

Snare stand works. There are three little notches underneath the unit where the snare stand latches into. I think I bought a Pearl stand for about $70. It's very solid, but any stand will work.

Its made for a snare-stand. I suggest not buying a cheap one (it'll come in handy if you eventually by a snare). Mapex makes a good one; plan on spending $50-60.

It fits well in the snare drum stand, has good weight, and it can be played on the snare drum. I prefer to use it on the snare drum stand when away from the kit. But, no problems on the drum.

I looked up how to set one up on YouTube, and it worked just fine. I have no experience with setting up drum sets, so if I can do it, anyone can.:-)

Hi, What they are offering is called a Shell Pack. I am sure it comes with the twin tom mounts. The floor tom will come with 3 legs, too. That is something that is usually not considered as extra hardware. They are referring to Hi-Hat Stand, Bass Drum Pedal, Cymbal Stands, Stool, Sticks, Cases, and Cymbals. I would assume no Snare Drum Stand, but they may surprise you on that. They are affordable to buy. Entry level drums will respond VERY WELL when time comes to replace the heads. You will be amazed. Your real expense and commitment with be cymbals. Cheap cymbals sound terrible. Good cymbals, while not cheap to buy, will do a good job holding value and,,,,,,,,,,,,you can keep them if and when you upgrade the drums. I would consider 14" hi-hat cymbals, 16" crash, and 20"-22" ride. Used is fine. Sabian offers refurb cymbals. They gather up and old, used, or cosmetic issue cymbals and sell them under the SR name. Price is great, you never know what level cymbal you are getting though. Most good cymbal companies sell starter cymbal "packs" that are not bad in price, but get nice cymbals and get a comfortable stool.

If you can put this together without glue, maybe. a smaller box drum would be better

A table top would be too high, not angled correctly, and doesn't leave you the ability to work the foot pedals. I would definitely recommend using it on typical snare drum stand. I would also recommend a drum throne, stick holders, and a music stand. The stand could be a stand-alone or wall mounted. I use a Manhasset 5601 Model #56 Wall Music Stand. At some point you're going to want to swap out the pedals that come with it for something like the Yamaha HH-65 Hi-Hat pedal and a bass pedal, both of which would be near impossible to use if the DD65 was on a table.

Hi James. This drum is supplied with only one stick. At 8 inches in diameter, it would be a bit small to accommodate two. On the plus side, this hand held drum sounds wonderful when struck with the fingertips, and I have used both hands doing that (alternating), so I suppose one could use two sticks if desired. This (for me) was a good deal (reasonably priced and of high quality). I hope this helps!

Yes, Drumdial gives suggested tunings for both the batter and snare heads. They don't cover every possible size, but they give you a place to start. Definitely recommend looking at all of their videos before you start using it.

Brian is basically right. Drums sets only count the 'drums' in their piece count, so three drums. The cymbals, stands (sometimes known as hardware) and seat (ala the throne) are all extras that you have to buy usually (in many cases the hardware to even mount the smaller toms and often even the bass drum pedals..). This set has it all. So Rock on.

I don't see why not. The snare and the two smaller toms are pre assembled. The rest of the set are in bags. A duffle bag may be the best option, I think. Hope this helps and it works!!

Wouldn't work. Most of the drum uses wood glue around the edges and wouldn't be condusive to just screws.

No- But interesting you asked. I bought the Drum and sold it to a friend of mine that shapes sheet metal-he's a true artist. and soon will be building metal stands for this unit and for other electric drum kits. it will be functional and beautiful I suggested "art deco" from the 1930's very retro looking with a speaker built into it. This would look incredible on stage or in your living room as an art object. if your interested in being one of the first to own one call me at 818-961-7024 MAXX

It is small set / as drums go. It takes up less Than the size of a child's small table? Like two feet by two feet?

Yes, you will need a stand for the kick drum mic as well as the two overhead mics... the tom and snare mics are the only ones that come with the mounting hardware... We use these to record with and to gig with and they work great!!!

Hello! This set includes the following: 2 cymbal stands, Snare stand, Hi-hat stand, Bass drum pedal, Tom arm & clamp for mounted toms. Thank you! ~The Music Farm

Yes, sort of.....the snare attaches to a triangular block of wood which is glued in so that the snare ends touch the front, thin, face, but not right in the center. That way, there are more variations in sound available at different locations.

Originally I used a snare stand (not recommended),it wouldn't sit still.You have to get the mount for the back of the unit,various prices available.I found a straight bar w/clamp on top that fits in an old pearl cymbal stand for about $40.Depending on what your mounting it to,your looking at another $50 to $100 in purchases.I found it well worth it.
