- Is the Dixon Spark Birch a good kit for a beginner?
- Yes, if you budget for cymbals and stands. The full-size shells and simple mounting make it easy to set up, and birch is forgiving under different heads.
- What comes in the box?
- The five shells: 22-inch bass drum, 10- and 12-inch rack toms, 16-inch floor tom and 14-inch snare. Cymbals, stands and a throne are not listed as included.
- How does birch compare to maple?
- Birch is brighter and punchier with a tighter low end; maple is warmer and rounder. For rock and amplified gigs, birch cuts through more easily.
- Is $750 a good price for this kit?
- That is the best new price across three stores as of November 7, 2026. For an all-birch five-piece with a 22-inch kick, it sits in the expected mid-range.
- Can I add a second bass drum?
- The kit is a single-bass configuration. Adding a matching 22-inch kick depends on whether Dixon still sells the Spark shell separately.
- What sizes are the toms?
- Rack toms are 8×10 and 9×12, the floor tom is 14×16, and the snare is 6.5×14.
