Selecting Equipment for Drummers & Percussionists
On these pages you'll find helpful hints on how to choose the
best equipment to suit your needs.
A bit of careful research and examination of what you intend to
buy will help you to buy equipment which will meet your needs for
years to come.
BEFORE you go to those pages consider the following questions:
Sometimes buying second-hand equipment such as
drum kits, cymbals, cases and some types of percussion represents
an excellent option. You often get the items cheaper and with
'extras' included. However, you may need to more careful with
stands and pedals. Also think about how old the second-hand
equipment is, especially if spares will be needed.
Beginners can often buy a complete second-hand semi-professional
or professional quality drum kit and cymbals for little more than
the price of a new 'entry level' kit.
Choice of individual items is beyond the scope of these pages.
However, there are excellent published resources produced which
will help you to make the best choice.
In Great Britain and Europe, Rhythm
Magazine is brilliant for this.
The equivalent US publication Modern
Drummer is another great resource.
Ask for advice from drummer friends with experience, drum
teachers or drummers you know. They will give you plenty of
help.
But REMEMBER, in the end IT'S YOUR
CHOICE!
