I'm a drummer, what drums should I buy?

Usually we drummers feel very attached to our instrument (drums) because it identifies us as musicians and even characterizes us in personality, that's why we always ask ourselves what type of battery I should buy or have. First we have to ask ourselves several questions: what sound do we want? What style of music are we going to play? How many pieces do we need? What budget do I have? And so other less fundamental questions like what color do I like? What brand? And which one looks prettier ?. We always ask these questions when buying a new battery or, on the contrary, when buying one for the first time. I always recommend that to start anything is good, as long as you do not have anything for example if you do not have a standard instrument of a basic and simple wood will go well for a while.

As long as you know how to distinguish from a very basic low-cost battery, to another battery of better value and mid-range. The economic batteries are usually manufactured with a very poor wood in acoustic properties it should be mentioned that the most economical use low quality wood veneers to reduce production costs since, the price of batteries generally goes hand in hand with the type and the acoustic properties of wood. The low-end batteries are generally made of poplar, which is a wood of little commercial value, and little resonant and acoustic property, these come with a few inexpensive fittings die-cut, and with a basic chrome finish, which to start at the moment buying is fine and is acceptable if you do not have a very large budget ($ 50 or $ 60). The hardware that they bring tends to be damaged very fast when they are not treated correctly since being a cheap batteries the quality of the methane tends to deteriorate very fast..

Then we have low-end range drums but better quality, these have wood, better sound definition and quality, one of them is the lime that have better acoustic properties than the poplar and have low and pleasant tonal properties. They bring ironworks equally die-cut but of better construction and finishes and the design resembles batteries of better quality.

Then we have a series of medium high beginner batteries that already come in quality and finish characteristics, they are usually drums with woods like basswood and basswood but with different amounts of layers in the helmets that make up the drums. Some come with high-quality drum suspension systems, and the fittings are heavier and better chrome-plated compared to low-end ones..

These two references are the batteries to take into account when purchasing a new battery, I personally believe that the percussion instrument makes the difference with respect to sound, but it is the performer who performs this work, it is useless to have the best drums of the world if it does not make it sound like it should be.
