Drums & Percussion

The drums are an important part of a band and just as big a part of music in general. You can get a lot of similar effects with electronic samples, but nothing beats a set of drums. As a drummer, you're setting the pace of the music and adding a lot of energy and excitement. If you're looking for a brand-new set or something to add to your setup, you've come to the right place.

Drum Sets

You need several important pieces of equipment for a standard setup. You'll need tom-toms, a snare, a bass drum and a pedal, and a few cymbals, including a hi-hat. If you're just starting out, you can get all the equipment that you need with a kit.

Make sure you don't forget all the hardware you need to play your set comfortably. Get all the stands you need to set up everything to your tastes. The stands for your drums and cymbals are adjustable, allowing you to create your ideal setup. One drummer's setup won't be the same as another's — how you arrange your equipment should make playing comfortable, convenient and fun for you.

Electronic Sets

While a classic drum kit is more common, there are some advantages to getting an electronic one. If you have children or close neighbors, you don't have to worry about the noise like you would with acoustic drums.

Some purists might say that an acoustic drum kit is the only way to go, but electronic sets can give the same quality in sound to a degree that makes it difficult for many to tell the difference between the two. No matter your age, skill level or playing style, there's an electronic drum set out there that you're sure to love.
