Many notable companies exist which specialize in making quality
drums. DW, Ludwig, Yamaha and Pearl are perhaps the most well known.
Each make different models that specially cater to the rock, jazz
or fusion drummer. DW drums is a fairly new company with the advantage
that they custom make each drum piece of their sets. This is opposed
to the factory-manufactured sets of other companies. However, DW
sets are often very expensive and should only be considered for
advanced drummers.
A basic drum set will consist of a bass drum, snare, tom drums
(usually three: a high tom, mid tom and floor drum), and cymbals
(ride, crash and hi-hat). Someone just starting out with drumming
will not need more than that. If a beginner-level drummer realizes
that it is something he or she would like to continue, it may be
time to move on to drum sets of better quality- sets that are designed
to match the particular musical preferences of a drummer.
Drummers never get enough credit. Oftentimes, they find themselves
the brunt of jokes or are relegated to the back of the stage. When
they occasionally get the chance to show off their prowess by performing
an amazing drum solo, they’re often chided for their overindulgence
and attention-seeking behavior.
Despite the negativity towards drummers, there really is a lot
of skill involved in drumming. It requires an advanced level of
eye-hand coordination, internal rhythm and ambidexterity. There
is nothing quite the same as watching a master drummer in complete
control of his or her instrument. This can be said whether an intense
solo is being performed or a beat is more subtly being played in
an unconventional time signature.
Drum machines and electronic drums were originally used by the
Moody Blues in the 70s and have become increasingly popular since.
These drums work by sending a signal to the processor whenever there
is a change in voltage over the head, that is, whenever the drum
is struck. The processor translates the change into a waveform which
produces the desired drum sound. Although these can simulate acoustic
drums very well, most drummers still prefer the feel and sound of
an organic, acoustic set.
When it comes to shopping for children, drum sets tend to fit
kids’ personalities the best of all the musical instruments.
They love the noise and physical activity associated with drumming-
Of course, these are the exact same reasons why parents do not like
drums as much. Many companies such as CB offer standard beginner
sets for kids which provide the feel for what it is like to be behind
a drum set. These models are also relatively cheap – around
$500, which is a comparatively affordable outlet for a child to
develop creativity.
