How to Purchase Drum Sets, Cymbals, and Accessories
Buying a new drum set can be a bit intimidating. Especially
if you have not been playing very long. With so many
different brands on the market and so many options and
opinions, it makes choosing a new drum set a bit
challenging.
My advice is to go to severel different music stores or drum
shops and get as many opinions as you can from as many
different drum sales reps as possible. While you are in the
drum shops beat around on the different brands of drum sets
that are displayed and listen for which ones are most
appealing to your ears.
Since different drum sets and drum manufacturers make their
shells out of different types of wood, sounds will vary.
Most entry-level drum kits are made of basswood or mahogany,
which is cheaper wood that does not produce a high quality
sound . Higher-end drums use more expensive wood such as
birch or maple, which produce a more rich, more resonant
tone, but also require a higher price tag.
There is a minor difficulty to overcome about the drum sets
on display, and that is, most display drum sets are not
muted, or not muted properly. So, you will have to bring
some felt or something with you to the drum shop along with
some tape assuming the drum store doesn’t have anything you
can use (it happens).
Also, ask the drum rep if you can remove the front bass drum
head so you can insert a pillow, blanket, or your coat in as
a mute if there isn’t a mute already in there.
When your shopping for new cymbals be sure to bring your own
sticks with you into the drum shop. When your crashing the
crashes, riding the rides, and splashing the splashes, you
want to get a good feel for them as you will be more
comfortable with the sticks you are used to drumming with.
A quick tip… be sure to write your name on your sticks or
mark them somehow before you take them into the drum store.
Also, inform the drum reps at the store upon entering that
you are bringing in your own sticks. You don’t want them to
think you stole them when you leave.
Obviously, one of the first things you need to consider when
contemplating purchasing a new drum set is your budget.
Drums are available in a wide range of prices, but unlike
most other instruments, you can buy drums one at a time and
build your kit as your budget allows.
You can start with as little as a new snare drum for your
old kit, and then some new cymbals, then on to some new
hardware or drum accessories. All of which can be purchased
for less on eBay. I know you will not be able to test
anything on eBay before you purchase it, but that’s why you
do your homework first. Go shop around at your local drum
store and then zero in on your purchases.

Tuning Your Drum Set
Tuning your drum set is one of the most important maintenance activities as a drummer. Even before the drummer starts playing or recording he has to ensure that the drum is well tuned and ready to sound good. A general drum kit consists of bass drum, cymbal, snare, hi-hats and toms.
So while tuning your drum set, you can start by tuning the snare drums.
Tune the top head at the very start. Turn each lug clockwise to increase the tension of the head and to increase the drum pitch. You can also, tune one lug and then tune the lug on its opposite side preferably 180 degrees away. The drums are bound to sound better when you do not tune these lugs in a circular sequence. However, be careful not to tune it too high, as the heads tend to break easily.
While tuning your drum set test the pitch of each lug when finished by lightly playing about one inch away from the lug with a drumstick Also, make sure while tuning your drum set that all lugs have equal pitch. At this point your drum should be tuned.
The next step in tuning your drum set is by tuning the toms.
You can start by tuning the bottom head of each tom-tom. You can then use the same tuning sequence as the snare technique for tuning each lug and then its opposite. After tuning the bottom move to the head. The head is where the pitch is located. Thus, it is very important that you have an idea of what pitch you want. Tune it to the pitch you want.
After you have got the right pitch, check each lug pitch so that it matches the others in the same manners as the snare drums.
After tuning your toms, the next step in tuning your drum set is the bass drums.
Start by tuning the head at first. It is advisable not to spend too much time tuning, as the head does not have much impact on the sound of the drum. After you have spend time tuning the head, you can start tuning the lug of the back head in the same manner as you tune the toms and snare. You should make sure your drum is tuned neither too high nor too low. Bass drum sounds really depend on the style of music you’re playing and how much impact the drum has with the group you play with.
When tuning your drum set, you must initially imagine the tones you want to hear, it is then important that you must discover how to tweak those exact tones from each drum. While tuning your drum set look closely at your snare drum and try to decide exactly what factors most affect the tonal quality.
Notice the square headed screws around the top and bottom rims of the drum. They are known as Tension Rods or tension screws. They screw into the lugs, which are usually mounted permanently on the sides of the shell of the drum. You may tighten or loosen these screws with a tool called a drum key.
A drum key can be purchased at any music store for a dollar or two. Adjustments to the tension screws with a drum key will affect the tension on the drumhead, which will raise or lower the pitch of the drum.
However, tuning your drum set depends more on your ear and the tone you want.
