Drum Sets

August 30, 2008 by paleywendys

There are two types of drum sets- acoustic and electronic. Within these two categories are instruments of tremendous variety. What you choose will depend on your musical tastes, your needs, and your budget.

Acoustic Drum Sets

Acoustic drum sets, also called drum kits, are what we typically think of when we think of the drums. They usually include a snare drum, cymbals, bass drum, and toms. Latin drum sets include all those pieces plus some hand drums and other accessories to hit with the drum stick such as cow bells. The sound is generated by the drum itself after the percussionist hits it with the sticks.

These types of drum sets form the back bone of most western music. When you listen to the radio, a good majority of the songs you here (unless it is classical) gets their percussive, rhythmic feel from the drum set. Though drummers tend to blend into the background of a band, their skill is necessary to hold the song together. The other musicians rely on the patterns created by the drummer. If the drummer misses a beat, it has the potential of causing the other musicians to lose their place.

Electronic Drum Sets

You can purchase electronic drum sets that are set up the same way as acoustic drum sets. With these types of drum sets, however, the sound is generated electronically instead of within the drum. When the drummer hits the electronic drum with the stick, the sound is processed electronically, which generates the sound. You can also buy electronic drum sets that resemble a pad. In this case, you can hit at the drum with your hand or a stick and the drum sound is generated and processed within the device.

So, there are two types of drum sets- acoustic and electronic. Your tastes, needs and budget will determine which one you should purchase. It’s also perfectly fine to purchase one of each.

If you’ve decided to take up drumming, but you don’t want to spend several thousand dollars on a professional drum set, you can go the discount drum set route. Thee are brand-name starter drum sets available for under $500, as well as no so well known brands for even less. Just keep in mind that a brand name set may come with a better warranty and be easier to upgrade or sell.

The best place to start checking for a discounted set of drums is on the Internet. There are several sites that sell discounted drum sets at great prices. A set should include drums, cymbals, sticks and hardware. You’ll also find great buys through mail-order houses. Look in music stores, music magazines or check bulletin boards in your local music shop. You’ll probably see some great buys.

You must make sure that the shells are round and have no cracks. The rims and hoops should not have any dents and should be perfectly round. Lugs and tension rods should be tight and there should be none missing.

Make sure the stands and brackets are intact and hold their position, and make sure that the bass pedal is working. You will save money buying a used set, but like anything else used, you want something that is in good working order. If you don?t know that much about drums, take along someone who does before you purchase a used set.

A relatively inexpensive drum set should include everything you need to get started – a five piece set of drums, cymbals, sticks and hardware. Pulse Pro Drums, Verve Vibe Drums and Coda Drums are brands that offer a decent set of beginner sets, although there are countless other brands to be found online, in catalogues, and in brick-and-mortar stores in or near your locale. It’s best to stick with the basics and move on if you decide to take drumming seriously. To move on implies buying a more expensive, higher-quality drum set.

Most inexpensive drum sets can be upgraded by replacing the drumheads with better ones. You can also replace the symbols and the bass drum petal for a higher grade. You might also consider spending a little more money on a better set made by an established company. They generally offer a better warranty and are easier to sell when you’re ready to move on to a better set. Brand name companies who make better, beginner drum sets include Ludwig, Drum Workshop (DW), Tama, Premier and Mapex.

The cost of a drumset can range from practically nothing (giveaways or throwaways) to thousands and thousands of dollars. You can choose something in the middle and work your way up from there as you improve on your drumming.
