Why Buy An Electric Drum Set?
Apr 30th
Why should you consider buying an Electric Drum Set over an Acoustic Drum Set? To help you in you purchase decision, I’ve outlined some of the benefits of Electric Drum Sets.

Jan 15th
Today I came across and interesting thread about why modern drummers are shrinking their drum set and cymbals.
It seems that there is a common trend these days to reduce the number of drums and cymbals on the drum set. This is particularly interesting given that during the 70′s and particularly 80′s, many rockstar drummers had massive drum sets that sometimes seemed a little over the top. This trend was seen especially among heavy metal and hard rock drummers such as Van Halen, Neil Peart, and Simon Phillips and I suppose even Phil Collins from Genesis was up there.

And then tell them that, we are only talking about 1 cymbal. The fact is that by the time you fill out a drum kit you can More >

Sep 19th
The only rule is that there are no rules!
Generally though most setups have the high-hat on the left of the snare and the ride on the far right over the floor tom. Your other cymbals are arranged in the front area depending on what you have. For example you could put your brighter or higher pitched cymbals toward the left of center and the darker or lower pitched cymbals to the right. The middle area is much more personalized.
