A drum kit is made up of much more than just a collection of shells. Want to set yourself up with everything you need to start drumming in one shot, including sticks and cymbals? Grab a drum kit starter pack!
Drum Kit Starter Packs: What's Included?
When it comes to acoustic drum kits, the accessories that come included (like stands and cymbals) will differ depending on the model. Complete starter kits, on the other hand, come with everything you need to get started right away, so all of the necessary hardware, a cymbal pack, a drum throne, a pair of drum sticks, a hi-hat pedal and a kick drum pedal. A drum throne (or stool) is vital for the correct playing posture, while the hardware (so the stands and mounts) provides a way to mount the drums and cymbals. Other useful accessories are lesson books, stick bags and drum mats, but these usually aren't included as standard. Besides complete acoustic drum kit bundles, there are complete electronic drum kit bundles that come including a pair of headphones or a drum amplifier, or both. You'll need at least one or the other so you can hear the sounds of your e-kit.
