However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The BDK 1+ Full Size Starter Drum Kit by Gear4music is a complete setup for beginners of all ages. You get all five drums, the hardware, cymbals, stool, sticks, and drum key you need to start playing, so putting together your first kit is nice and straightforward. The 6-ply poplar shells produce a deep, mellow sound, while 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash, and an extra 18" crash/ride give you plenty of sounds to explore as your playing develops.
There's sturdy double-braced hardware too, helping everything stay supported while you get comfortable behind the kit. And with a padded, height-adjustable stool and adjustable bass drum pedal, you can find a playing position that works for you, then get stuck into practising beats, fills, and your favourite songs.
Product Ref: 83061
Your first drum kit should make getting started simple. That’s why the BDK 1+ brings together the main drums, cymbals, hardware, and accessories you’ll need in one complete setup. You get a 22" x 16" bass drum, 12" x 10" and 13" x 11" rack toms, a 16" x 16" floor tom, and a 14" x 5.5" snare. Each drum features a 6-ply poplar shell, giving you a full-size five-piece layout with a consistent sound across the kit and plenty of room to practise beats, fills, and coordination. It’s a practical setup for any beginner player to start building their skills over time.
The 14" steel hi-hats give you a crisp sound for keeping time, learning accents, and working on syncopated rhythms, while the 16" steel crash adds another option for emphasising different parts of your playing. You also get an additional 18" steel crash/ride and boom stand. Play the crash/ride gently and you can bring a sustained shimmer to quieter passages. Give it a stronger hit and you’ll get the extra rasp and attack needed for more energetic sections. It’s a useful selection for discovering how cymbals can shape a drum part.
The BDK 1+ uses 6-ply poplar shells across all five drums, giving your kit a deep, mellow character. This means you can get used to how the bass drum, snare, and toms work together while developing your dynamics and coordination. Poplar also provides the durability needed for regular practice, making these shells well suited to the repeated playing that comes with learning an instrument. And with steel hi-hats, crash, and crash/ride cymbals alongside them, you have plenty of contrasting sounds to explore as you practise different beats, fills, accents, and playing styles.
Getting comfortable behind the kit can make those practice sessions much more enjoyable. The included padded stool is height-adjustable, helping you find a suitable playing position, while the bass drum pedal features an adjustable beater. Your hi-hat, cymbal, and snare stands are double-braced for sturdy support as you learn. Plus, the essentials haven’t been forgotten. You’ll receive a pair of 5B drumsticks, a drum key, and the necessary tom arms, hoops, lugs, and screws. Once everything is set up, you’ll have what you need to concentrate on the important bit: playing and developing your drumming skills.
"This kit represents great value for money and gives you everything that's required to get up and drumming." Music Radar
