Find Your Own Signature Sound

Whether it’s rock, jazz, blues, or country, drums not only provide the beat against which all other instruments play, but they distinguish one musical genre from another.

Since the creation of the modern drum set in the 1930s, drum kits continue to be developed and refined, helping musicians in their struggle to find their own distinctive voice. We aim to help you make a more informed decision on today’s equipment by looking at all aspects of the drum kit: wood, shell construction, finishes, hardware, snares, and cymbals. You’ll get the information you need on your journey to find your own signature sound.
