Drum Hardware Commonly Needed for a Drum Set

Posted by Sean Lemons on Jul 9th 2019

You cannot buy a drum set for a good price unless you know exactly what you need. Not all products are standard. Generally, such a set contains the following common hardware:

Pads (if it's a digital set). These are the surfaces on which the sound is emitted.

Drums - can be of various sizes. The most common are the big drums, the small drums and the tom-tom drums.

Cymbals - are those discs that emit different sounds. Each one produces its unique sound, so the more they are in a percussion set, the more tones can be produced. There are several types of cymbals; here are the most popular:

  • •Crash cymbal – it produces strong sounds and is generally used at the end of songs
  • •Ride cymbal - it is quite large and produces a versatile sound, being used to keep the rhythm
  • •Splash cymbal – it has a sharp and thin sound, helping the player to create special effects

Accessories - they improve the player`s experience, being essential objects in drumming. The most common are the following products: chairs (required for the comfort and safety of the player),drum sticks, tuners, as well as support elements for the drums.
