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-18 Expanded Jazz Drum Kit by Gear4music is a complete setup for beginners ready to enjoy learning jazz drums. Its 100 percent poplar shells give you warm low frequencies, smooth highs, and a balanced midrange, creating a versatile sound as you build your skills. The compact 18 inch bass drum suits traditional jazz setups and takes up less space, making it handy for smaller practice areas and venues. Double braced hi hat, cymbal, and snare stands keep everything feeling steady while you play, so you can focus on your timing and technique. Better still, everything you need to start playing is included. You get 14 inch hi hats, a 16 inch crash ride, drumsticks, a drum key, and a comfortable height adjustable padded stool. This expanded version also adds an 18 inch crash ride and boom arm cymbal stand, giving you another cymbal position to explore.

The BDK-18 uses 100 percent poplar shells, giving you warm lower frequencies alongside smooth highs and a neutral midrange. This balanced character gives you plenty to work with as you practise grooves, fills, and different playing techniques. You also get a full five piece configuration, with 10 inch and 12 inch rack toms, a 14 inch floor tom, 14 inch snare, and compact 18 inch bass drum. The shells are durable too, giving you the freedom to play with confidence as your technique develops.
A stable kit makes it much easier to concentrate on your playing. That's why the BDK-18 includes double braced hi hat, cymbal, and snare stands, helping everything stay securely positioned while you practise. The bass drum pedal has an adjustable beater, giving you another useful way to tailor the setup to your playing. You'll also get a padded, height adjustable drum stool, so finding a comfortable position is straightforward. Plus, the expanded kit adds a boom arm cymbal stand for positioning the additional cymbal within comfortable reach. Once everything is set up, you can focus on the important stuff: improving your timing, coordination, and technique while enjoying each practice session.
The 18 inch bass drum gives the BDK-18 the compact proportions commonly associated with jazz kits. This smaller size is useful when you're practising at home, playing in tighter venues, or simply want a kit that's easier to transport. Jazz bass drums are often tuned higher, helping to create the wider tonal resonance associated with this style of playing. The setup also gives you room to explore different jazz techniques. Try sticks, mallets, or brushes as you develop your sound and discover the different textures you can bring to grooves and rhythmic patterns.
Alongside the five drums, you'll receive the essential hardware plus 14 inch steel hi hats and a 16 inch steel crash ride. This expanded version adds an extra 18 inch crash ride and boom arm cymbal stand, giving you another cymbal to work into your playing. That means more scope for practising timekeeping, accents, fills, and rhythmic patterns as your skills develop. Drumsticks, a drum key, and a padded drum stool are included too. Once your kit is assembled, you're ready to get behind it and start practising.
