Convert your Ludwig Pocket Kit into an Adult-sized micro kit!


The Ludwig Questlove Pocket Kit is a great little drum kit marketed towards kids, but it also makes an amazing compact drum kit for a adults with just a couple of accessories. I've put together this package to make it an easy process of converting your Pocket Kit into a killer micro drum kit! This pack includes a bass drum riser, longer floor tom legs and bass drum spurs. I've also added a great budget cymbal pack by Stagg that are a significant upgrade to the stock cymbals. 

Note: Each piece needs to be purchased separately, but I've bundled them all together in one Amazon storefront page.

The Questlove Pocket Kit comes with a small 16" bass drum which sounds great, but it does not come with a riser. No worries, here's a perfect one for under $20!

 
Now that you have the bass drum higher, you'll need some longer spurs to raise the front as high as the back. No worries, here's some that will work perfectly! that are also under $20!
 
 Since the pocket kit is designed with kids in mind, the floor tom legs are pretty short. This can easily be fixed with these longer 18.5" legs. These will raise up the floor tom to reach comfortably with the rest of the raised kit! And yes, they're under $20!

 

That is really all you need to get the kit up to adult-sized playing. But I've added a couple more optional items here if you might need them. 

Stagg EX Cymbal pack: I have an 18" one of these and I was shocked as to how good it sounds. It's dark and warm sounding, which is very rare for B8 bronze, but it is. Check out this video to hear it! This pack comes with 14" hats, a 16" crash and a 20" ride for only $270! This is a significant upgrade over the stock cymbals.
