Drums FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Category: Main -> Equipment

Question
· How do you feel about electronic drums? · How do you feel about drum machines? · What should I be looking for when selecting a specific piece of gear?

Answer
· How do you feel about electronic drums? I LOVE them! They are not going away, and to be a real drummer, you have to learn programming and playing e-drums. They continue to improve and become easier to understand, so I would suggest checking out the varying products from the manufacters like Roland or Yamaha.-Shane [ Back to Top ]
· How do you feel about drum machines? See the question above. As a drummer, I would suggest jumping into a kit over a drum machine. A drum machine is a great way to learn how to program beats, but doesn't allow you to do much else. They are small and compact, but you can always take a brain (module) from an E-kit to do what a standard drum machine does. I find that drum machines work better for stringbending songwriters. -Shane [ Back to Top ]
· What should I be looking for when selecting a specific piece of gear? Quality. As many wonderful products there are out there, there's many that aren't so wonderful. There are certain questions to ask, like the quality of the castings, and techniques used to make said product. You'll be in the best hands with a non commissioned specialist who knows his or her stuff, like we do! -Shane [ Back to Top ]
