The best Black Friday deals

5 reasons to buy an e-kit on Black Friday/Cyber Monday

  1. Price 2020 has been pretty bleak, on that we can all agree. Retailers have faced an impossible year, with lockdowns and people’s changing finances creating a huge gap in their incomes. A strong Black Friday is essential to getting people through the door – virtually or otherwise – so expect to see some truly amazing deals on offer this year.
  2. Timing Experience tells us we will begin to see stores announcing Black Friday deals well in advance of the day itself, so expect to see a steady stream of discounts hitting your devices from now. Keep an eye out for the right deal and you could be opening a freshly delivered e-kit much sooner than anticipated.
  3. Shopping with confidence Black Friday fire-sale or not, your consumer rights are still rock solid. So, if you buy something, and have instant buyer’s remorse rest assured you can return the item back from whence it came. Best to check the retailer's individual return policy before you start unpacking it all though.
  4. Look for ‘halo deals’ If you have the electronic drum set of your dreams in mind, but are finding it isn’t part of any headline offers, check out online discount codes for the major retailers. Some were offering up to 15% - sitewide – so there’s a good chance you can benefit that way.
  5. The thrill of the chase An electronic drum kit, particularly at the top tier, is never likely to be an impulse purchase as such. That said, if you’re in the market for a second kit, or one to encourage the kids onto, then you’ll likely find something that will tempt you into that off-the-cuff expenditure. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
