Drum Equipment and Accessories

September 11, 2017

Playing good tunes on a drum set is down to how well the drums are equipped [with fundamental accessories] and of course, the drummer’s expertise. Let’s now see some useful drum add-ons that would help [as a drummer] play/beat the instrument better.

Drum Stands & Mounts: These set of accessories serve as a means of support for the drum. For a more profound support system, you can use a drum rack which can hold a couple of percussion instruments together as a unit.

Drum Clamps: Clamps are needed for fastening drums- and other relevant instruments- to a percussion setup. There are a wide range of clamps available for use. Among the very best are Sound Percussion Labs SPH01, Pro Multi-Clamp, Mapex Center-ratch Adjustable Multi-purpose Clamp and Yamaha CSAT924 Multi Clamp.

Drum Tuners: Drum Tuners are crucial for helping a percussionist sustain the tempo of his/her beat. And when it comes to owning a drum tuner, the Drumdial digital drum tuner [which employs tympanic pressure to adjust the pitch of drums] is a wonderful accessory to own. Some other options are, TAMA TAMTW100 Tension Watch and Tune Bot Gig Digital Drum Tuner.

Drum Silencers: The silencer is a rubber pad that is fitted onto the drumhead. The drum silencer functions to reduce the volume of the drum while it is being played- especially during a practice.

Drum Pedals: Drum Pedals permit the percussionist the opportunity to play the drum- bass drum especially- with the foot.

Drum Thrones: Every drummer needs a drum seat that will enable him to comfortably play the instrument. There are different designs/brands to pick from: Mapex 1775 drum stool [with backrest], Roc N Soc round seat, Mapex T200-TND throne, Pork Pie black star drum throne are just a few of them.
