Hello drummers! I'm a bedroom guitarist and my darling 13 year-old daughter wants to learn drumming.

I'm permanently scarred by my own inability to learn guitar at 13 on the Hondo acoustic with a 1" action that my parents bought me so I want to get my OWN kid something reasonable to start on. I started playing guitar with a decent piece on my 40's and will always wonder what happened if my parents had sprang for something loving playable.

But I'm not a dentist and don't want to blow money like an idiot, I just want to get her something reasonable to start with. I have no fear of craigslist but really have no idea how to pick out an OK starter set.

Been poking around on cl but I can't tell anything from the ads, and the OP says 'just ask', so I'm asking. I live in Indianapolis so that's the cl I'm watching.

My alternatives are buying from CL and leaving her alone or buying something from a local music store and paying for lessons, trying to rope lessons and a cheaper kit into a single price. Alternately I guess I could go to Costco and pick up an electronic kit for roughly the same amount, but I think that physical instruments are more rewarding to mess as a beginner than electronic ones.

I'd like to keep it under $300 but if it's up to $500 I could resale for $100 less easily that's OK too.

The more interesting things on the local cl:
