Acoustic Drum Set for First-Time Buyers

It’s all about hard-hitting rhythms. The raw primary attraction of the large, loud acoustic drum set is something that resonates deep within and awakens one’s primitive instincts. In a more modern everyday use, these drum sets also give us the opportunity to blow off some steam after a stressful day at school or work.

The most standard drum configuration is a 5-piece set. This means that there are five drums (bass drum, snare drum, two "rack toms" and a "floor tom"). Along with this, you will need a stool, bass drum pedal, hi-hat, cymbals, cymbal stand, and drumsticks for a complete drum set.

The most common sizes are ROCK and FUSION sizes. A rock drum set consists of a 22" bass drum, a 12" and a 13" rack tom, a 16" floor tom, and a 14" snare drum. The fusion set consists of a 20" bass drum, a 10" and a 12" rack tom, a 14" floor tom, and a 14" snare drum. In the beginner phase, there is hardly anything right or wrong in choosing one size over the other. At the same time, it should be noted that there are also junior drum sets for younger drummers. They are well-suited for children who wish to start at the age of 5 to 6 or similar. Just be aware that as they grow, they will outgrow this kit, so consider the drum set based on their size and how long you think the set will last for them and vice versa.

Some drummers may feel that fusion sizes are more versatile because they can be tuned low for rock sound and tuned higher for a tighter funk/fusion sound, and in certain cases, get away with a slightly more authentic jazz or latino sound, to a greater extent than a rock set can. Rock sizes are, in that sense, less versatile and are best suited for the larger rock sounds.

One last thing: if you think that acoustic drum sets are too loud, you are not forced to go the electronic route. You can acquire sound-dampening Practice Pads, which are placed on top of the acoustic drums and significantly reduce the sound to much more acceptable levels. This way, you can practice quietly and still have the right acoustic drum set for when you need to bang it out at full volume!

Acoustic Drum Set for Advanced and Professional Players

We can safely say that a low-quality drum set will never be able to offer the same sound that professional high-quality drum sets can offer.

One of the biggest differences between low or high quality drum kits is the materials used to make them. High-quality drum kits are made with a very specific type of wood, have a certain number of layers, better supporting hardware, and are produced with a much more thorough hand. For those who have thought about taking music a bit more seriously, we strongly suggest investing in a high-quality drum kit.

Before buying a professional drum kit, it is a good idea to consider some practical aspects - mainly where it will be placed and your budget, but also personal style and musical taste. One of the biggest influences that can help someone determine the best drum kit for them is the type of music they want to create/produce. Each type of drum kit can produce a different sound. For example, if you want to play blues, you will need a different drum kit than if you want to play heavy metal. More specifically, you should take a closer look at the drumheads. This part of the drum is responsible for the type of sound produced. Thicker drumheads will result in a deeper sound.

If you are one of those people who play multiple music genres, we strongly recommend choosing a maple drum kit, as it is the most versatile among all types of drum kits. The next best option is Birch. For people who are into heavy rock, Tama drums are an ideal choice. Although it is a bit more expensive, many heavy rock drummers recommend this brand because they make drums that have the perfect blend of appearance and sound.

If you are looking for a versatile snare drum, the best solution is a maple snare drum with a depth of 5.5 inches.

That said, the above recommendations are just general guidelines and not specific. This means that a particular drum kit on paper may not be an ideal choice for a specific music genre, but it could be just right for you and your band.
