Hohner LE Lite
Advantages Well made, low priced
Disadvantages None apart from age.
I'm often asked where a good cheap set of drums can be acquired, usually with the same response, Dunno!
Just kidding.
Unlike most cheap kits the Lite LE ain't half bad, I've actually go a set myself.
The standard set consists of 5 drums. Bass - Floor Tom - Twin Toms - Snare. Any cymbals or other add-ons are just that, Separate add-ons. But that don't kill the kit as most second hand sets come with hi-hats and a splash or two, often with no extra cost so the kit becomes an even better bargain.
The sound quality is another good point with this kit, they tune well and give a good strong sound that equals most makes, and they don't gouge your floor. In place of the usual spikes it has decent rubber feet that grip well even for a heavy footed drummer like me.
Overall they're a great starter kit that can be picked up around the £150 - £200 mark, and often you can get a PX deal if they are from a shop, so even cheaper.

Well done, you wrote a good op which explained the main parts with the Hohner LE Lite quite well. If I was starting the drums I'd think about getting one...!

Great op. I know some people who are thinking of buying a drum kit, I will direct them to your op.
