EASTROCK Snare Drum Stand Adjustable with Drum Bracket Double Braced, Fit 10-14 Inches Dia Snare Drum Base Height Adjust From 14 to 23.6 Inches (Snare Drum Stand)

I'll disagree (respectfully) about the stand. I think it's a good idea to develop good posture and ergonomics right off the bat. A stand helps in that regard. Is it absolutely necessary to get started? Nope. But I think it has significant value, nevertheless. I started with just a pad on the coffee table / sofa. I got a stand shortly thereafter. Big difference. I'm not from India, so I don't know what is available there.
