Know About All The Parts Of An Acoustic Drum Set Kit Before Making A Purchase If you wish to make a full-time career out of your passion for drums, you will need a professional drumming kit. It is essential to learn what types of kits are available out there and which ones are the best for you if you are an avid learner. Drums are one of the most crucial parts of a musical band and if you wish to build your own brand in the future, you will need knowledge about the different types of acoustic drum kits. If you have just begun your journey to learning the drums and want to buy a drum set, here are the things you need to keep in mind to choose the right drum for yourself. 1. Size of the drum set The size of the drum kit you buy is the first thing to consider before you make the purchase. Consider the space you have at your home or studio and the height of the room. The acoustic drum set designed for beginners is smaller in size compared to the “rock” sets which are made for adults with average height. You can obtain deep and balanced sounds from a rock set. If you have space restrictions, you can invest in fusion and hybrid sizes. There are also junior sets for small children which are comparatively easier to play with and cost lesser. 2. Pieces of the drum kit Drum pieces are the elements used by professional drummers. A five-piece set is one of the most popular ones and consists of a bass drum, three toms, and a snare drum. The four-piece comes with only two toms while a six-piece provides an additional number of toms. The number of drums that come with each kit can be determined from its name. Take note of the fact that this number is not inclusive of hardware and cymbals. 3. Get the right material Quality matters when it comes to drumming. The material used to make your acoustic drum set will define the quality of sound it produces. If you do not want to compromise on the quality of sound, you may want to invest in the right materials. Drums made from maple wood will produce bright and warm tones while the ones made out of birchwood will deliver low-end beat and strong high frequencies. Mahogany wood produces rich low-end frequencies. Do your research and make your pick appropriately.
