Drums & Percussion

Why is there a large variety of drums available?

The choice of drum, make, and style is influenced by several factors, including musical genre, performance setting, and personal preference. Jazz drummers could require more responsive kits that allow for subtle nuances in their playing, while rock drummers might choose larger kits with deeper, more resonant bass drums for that powerful impact.

Drums for Everyone

The appeal of drums extends beyond professional musicians or those in bands. For learners and individuals seeking a new hobby, drums offer a unique combination of physical activity, mental discipline, and creative expression. Playing the drums can be a powerful stress reliever, and offering a fun way to learn a new skill.

What types of drums are available?

Acoustic Drum Kits

The more traditional option, Acoustic Drum Kits are the best way to learn or perform. Acoustic drum kits give players the basics, with the options to add more drums and cymbals when needed. As they are much louder than electric kits, there have been some developments to make quieter ones for practicing.
