There are a dizzying amount of drum products on the market and sorting through the chaos to find the best gear for your passion can be a challenge. To help cut through the noise, I’m providing a list of products that I have purchased myself and use with students during drum lessons. These products have stood the test of time and are highly recommended. As a note, if you order these products using the links below I will receive a percentage of the sale through the Amazon Associates Program.
This is a timeless and classic book used to establish and hone your stick control. It’s regarded as the “Bible Of Drumming” and has been deemed essential by many professional drummers and educators. This is the one book a drum student will retain throughout their entire journey on the instrument.
This product has been in my stick jar for years. Not only do they provide a very cool vibe and texture while playing, but they also provide a substantial decrease in volume.
This product is an excellent option for both the acoustic kit and practice pads. They provide a low volume alternative to regular drum sticks while retaining great rebound for rolls and rudiments.
These sticks look great, are durable, long lasting and just play well. These will last at least twice as long as regular sticks for just a few additional dollars.
This practice pad is a classic, durable and is soft on one side while hard on the other. It is the perfect size for practicing rudiments and stick control. I have had my pads for years and by just wiping the surface with a wet towel, the pad looks like new.
These cymbals provide the feel of acoustic cymbals with 80% less noise. They come in a variety of sizes to mirror traditional acoustic cymbals on your kit and look fantastic. Pair these with Remo Quite heads or Vater Practice Pads and you’ll have the perfect practice kit.
A great way to reduce the sound of your acoustic drums by 80%. These mesh heads look and feel amazing, while bringing down the noise. Easy to install and perfect for practicing.
This is a 3-in-1 device, combining a Tuner, a Metronome, and a Tone Generator, all housed in a pocket-sized device. It includes a carrying pouch that protects it when storing or not in use.
A true gem for any drum set. This ride cymbal is really dry, has great stick articulation and has an exceptional sound when used as a crash. It’s a very versatile cymbal and every cymbal is custom made so it will be a unique sound addition to your kit.
There are lots of drum thrones available, but this throne balances comfort, durability & price. I have used this throne for years and it still looks and feels brand new. You will not be disappointed.
This is a solid & quiet bass drum practice pad. It’s sleek and blends right in with your other practice pads to make for a visually clean practice set up.
