Loading ...Drum Set Cymbals – Making the Right Choice
Apr 22nd
Drum set cymbals are an important part of the drum set. Drum cymbals are essential because they add texture to music compositions. Cymbals can create strong accents, brightness and lightness to songs. Choosing the right cymbals for your drum set, keeping in mind the style of music to be performed, will greatly enhance the sound of the drums and music.
Cymbal properties
The sound produced by hitting cymbals may vary from cymbal to cymbal due to size, thickness, and make-up. Cymbal sizes can range anywhere from a 4″ bell to a 22″ ride, yet there are smaller and larger sizes available. You will find that most drum kits, if not all of them, will consist of cymbals with different thickness. Generally, the hihats and ride are the thickest of the cymbals, whereas some crash cymbals are relatively thin. Heavy, medium, ultra thin, and other thickness are some of the varieties that you will discover. If you are seeking a heavy resonating sound, you might choose a thick cymbal. Choose a thin cymbal for lighter resonating.
Many varieties to choose
There are many varieties of cymbals to accompany your drum kit. Choose from great selections produced by top manufacturers like Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, and Meinl. These companies have been around for years producing top quality cymbals used by musicians worldwide. Each company has their own expansive line of quality cymbals. They also have available unique items such as the china, swizzle, swish, pang, and gong.
Visit your local music store
Test the sounds of different cymbals at your local music store. Not all music stores will have a separate drum department carrying an array of cymbals, so you may have to look around for those stores. As you test these cymbals, listen for qualities such as brilliance, projection, attack, and presence. You will be able to decide what will work best for you.

Drum Set Fills & Grooves
Apr 13th
Drumming DVD, “Practical Drumming” with Brian Lutz, is an all-around Drumming DVD featured in DRUMHEAD MAGAZINE & MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE!
The DVD covers a wide range of topics and skill levels. There are some foundational portions there were surprisingly new to me. It is critical to build on a solid foundation, so I feel this alone helped me progress and break some old habits that were holding me back.
It includes a 12-page booklet of P.A.S. Essential Snare Rudiments & Drum Set notation (printable in full-page format), 3-Hours of Snare & Drum set Instruction & Live-Performances. Musical Performances in 21 Different Playing Styles PLUS Full-Length Live-Band Performances!
