Many common drum accessories can be a great present for beginning drummers who want to feel more confident about their path to learning the art and science of becoming accomplished musicians. Regardless of talent or skill, the excitement of getting hold of a great looking and sounding drum accessory that can help them improve their abilities is more than worth the expense.

A cymbal guard is one of the most practical as well as among the coolest gifts that you can buy for a drummer. These guards are designed to protect cymbals in case the drummer likes to play a heavier style of music. Even if your drummer friend or family member prefers a less flashy style, wear and tear can still warrant the use of a cymbal guard, which is another reason why it’s such a great present.

A dampener or a snare weight designed to help deal with the troublesome overtones that all drums have can also be a great accessory. Unlike dampeners, snare weights also add weight to the drum head, which allows it to target the reduction of mid-range overtones, making the sound of the drum much cleaner and easier on the ears.

Finally, bass plates are somewhat newer products that can help enhance the bass of a drum even if its counterhoops are damaged. This accessory can be a great asset and an exceptional gift for drummers who want to save their bass drums from damage.
