Product Information

If you’ve ever wondered who the best drum brands are or which brand makes the best drum sets, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favourites.

If you’ve found 5Bs a bit of a handful in the past, you can now increase your power whilst still keeping the lighter feel of a 5A. Get access to the beginner video course that’ll have you confidently playing along with your favorite songs in just 90 days: New Drummers Start Here. This means that you can compare two different brands, even if the numbering system that each company uses is slightly different. We take a look at 5 of our favourite budget-friendly drum sets that won’t break the bank. These are our top 5 best options. If you have a long taper you have a long transition between the body and the tip. A shorter taper has a shorter transition between the body and the tip.It’s much easier to sound like your drumming heroes when you have access to the same equipment that they do.

Something to also take into consideration is when the music was composed. Nylon tips were invented in the 1950's and if the music was written before that point some would argue that it would be wrong to use such novelties. This means you can still executive difficult drum fills and fast songs, but don’t have to worry about sounding half-hearted or struggling to be heard with a band. We look at some of the best gifts for drummers and drum accessories that the drummer in your life will actually want to use!Founded in 1992 in a remote village in Sweden, Wincent gradually became more and more popular amongst drummers with each product it released. Initially focusing on practice pads and brushes, the brand eventually was employed to make Zildjian’s Z-Lites rods in 1998.

If you’re inspired by bands like the Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC/DC and The Who, you’re in the right place. Another heavyweight in the drum manufacturing industry, Meinl boasts over 70 years of experience, and like Zildjian, they are best known for the cymbals they produce. They’re also all very similarly priced. So, the best thing to do is try out each option from the different brands to see which ones you like the most. Wrap Up This size tends to feel very comfortable in your hands, and that’s why 5As are so loved by the vast majority of drummers.

The coating also prevents your hands from sweating, so that will not be a problem anymore, which will be a great relief if you have problems with hand sweat. Just as a brief overview – tip shape affects the tone that you produce on the drum (warmer or brighter).

It's always very tempting to skip all the beginner's steps and throw yourself in the deep end of the pool because you obviously want to play cool, impressive music, but even though it might seem like a slower process to go through all the basic stuff we assure you it's always worth it. After all, you can't build a skyscraper without a solid foundation! Mallets are used both for pitched percussion, such as xylophones and marimbas and for cymbals. The ball on the tip can be made of rubber, plastic or be wrapped in cloth or cotton, depending on which instruments you're playing. Wooden tips: deeper natural tone, good amount of rebound, minimal vibration (when hitting cymbals).

Nylon - this tip produces the brightest sound and are the most durable. Great for added projection and cymbal definition. Many amateur musicians nowadays take great pride in and think it's best to be autodidact, or self-taught, but the fact is that such musicians often leave much to wish for when it comes to proper technique, which often hinders progress.
