Should I buy the best monster drum set or the best
small drum kit?
Wondering whether to buy the best monster drum set or the best
small drum kit? This is an important question that deserves utmost
attention when you are in the market for buying the best drums. It
can be very exciting buying a drum set. I equate it to a young child
allowed to pick out a toy from a toy store, so many things to choose
from. You may even want to have a set-up like your favorite drum
artist. In any event, we will explore some areas that may help in
your purchasing decision.
How much money are you willing to spend?
This question alone may serve to help your decision regarding the
purchase. Granted, a monster set (9 piece or more) will most likely
cost more than a smaller drum kit, especially if it is one of the top brand
name sets. To add into the costs, you will probably need some drum
accessories and drum parts such as tension screws drum and cymbal
cases. Cost may not be a problem for some but for others this bit of
information may be all that they need.
Storage and set-up
Storing and setting up can be a problem for both the monster and the
small drum set. Space is a commodity and the more there is, the less
cramped you will be. You might want to keep in mind the amount of
time for breakdown and set-up.
Transporting the kit
Transporting your set to gigs, studios, or rehearsals will require a
vehicle that can manage all of the equipment. Most often, drummers
have to move their own equipment (unless you are famous and have
roadies do it for you). This can be a bit of a challenge if your band is
performing with other bands. This would require bands to set-up and
breakdown quickly.
Performing
What style of music do you like to play? Maybe you enjoy rock, in which
you may settle for a monster kit or a small set for jazz performing. Though,
there are some famous drummers that will have monster sets for jazz
and smaller sets for rock. You will have to investigate what works best
for you.
Take your time
We have just explored some of the key factors in helping you to
determine
your drum purchase. Take your time with this process so that you will
have a good foundation in your decision. Once you have come to a
resolution, enjoy the journey of buying your new drum set.
