These are the basic drum sets. When you want to buy, first compare the special advantages of various musical instruments. The quality of cymbals, the wood of drums and drums, what grade is the wood of drums? Make a detailed assessment of all aspects first. As for the price difference, it varies according to everyone's economic situation. If you are unfamiliar with musical instruments, you must consult more experienced friends or musicians. Generally speaking, musical instruments are divided into several series, namely, ordinary level, intermediate level, advanced level and manual level ... Most of the so-called ordinary level are modeled, whether drums or cymbals ... Among them, drums are divided into single board, double board, sandwich, iron drum and synthesis, and it is not allowed to look at the appearance alone. If the drum appearance quality is high, it is almost always painted, and it is multi-layer painted, so you can pay special attention to the selection. "Drum stick" can be divided into maple, walnut and oak in wood standard, and the sound difference will be obvious after knocking. In addition, there are plastic heads and soft drums made of plastic, including bunches. "Drum brush" is usually called "steel brush", and the handle is usually made of rubber, wood and plastic. The brush is divided into thin steel wire and plastic wire, and the handle is also made of wood and plastic. The "iron" frame is divided into single board, double board, straight frame, inclined frame, small drum frame and drum chair ... all of them are divided into so-called horizontal bar frame (called single board) and parallel bar frame (called board), which can only be seen by careful observation. "Drum skin" is divided into single layer, double layer and oil interlayer (oil surface), and Evans and REMO are often seen in the market now. There are several brands of "copper cymbals" in China, but most of them are made in Turkey. Let's just say that we need more listening and more contact to learn more about brass and cymbals. It's not easy to understand them only by word description, not only for cymbals, but also for any musical instrument! Because the composition proportion and process of making cymbals are quite complicated, we can never understand it, but we can definitely tell the feeling by hearing, and we can feel it by comparing the appearance. One of the most specific ways to buy is to compare high-end products, intermediate products and ordinary products to see how much the price is different from the product grade. This is determined according to your judgment and demand, so it is absolutely necessary to measure the price. The so-called saying that it is not a loss to shop around! However, if you don't know enough, how can it be the same? The most important thing is to know first and ask more questions! Because this may be the first time for everyone to buy a musical instrument, and it is also the most exciting and worrying for the first time in their lives. "The most unforgettable first set of jazz drums" ... never fails.
Personally, I suggest not to buy too bad ones, which is not good for the whole study.
How beginners choose drums is a headache for many drummers who are not rich in China.
I used a set of "Jinbao" in Chongqing for several years before, but now I find that the cost is very high.
In short, how to choose a set of percussion instruments that suits you, first of all, you should position yourself for development: are you going to be a professional drummer or try to play drums yourself, or are you just on a whim?
1: If you just like music and want to see if you can play drums, then you don't have to buy it. Because even a set of second-hand "Jinbao" often costs several hundred yuan.
If you just want to learn on a whim, please think calmly: can I still treat my blood drum like this after five years? If the answer is "Yes!" Well, please refer to article 3. If it is "not necessarily", then you just need to find a place where you can play drums first, because blindly buying drums will cost you a lot.
For those who want to be a real drummer, you should choose a good friend who really fascinates you, in Pearl, TAMA or MAPEX.
If a set of "Jinbao" is well maintained, it will be enough for you to spoil for five years. You can practice many rhythms and basic skills on it. Including the drummer tricks that make your mouth water.
But, please believe me, after five years, you are basically useless.
"Jinbao" can train you for nothing in five years from the posture of drumming, delicate timbre, hand feeling and understanding of drums.
If you are willing to waste your time for five years first, then give up or spend the same money to buy a real drum set, and then spend five years to correct a bunch of "mistakes" you have practiced on Jinbao, you can skip the following paragraphs.
Now let's analyze the mid-range drums worthy of drummers' choice in terms of price and performance:
"Pearl" drum is the highest-selling brand in the world, and it has the best production technology and professionalism in the world. Moreover, through the agent of the "alto" company, we can buy the "Pearl" drum set at a suitable price.
"Pearl" should be the following choices that suit you:
Rhythmic Traveler: The guaranteed reserve price of alto is 3,888 yuan, including: one snare drum, two drums, one floor drum, one mallet, and three cymbals (produced by a manufacturer specializing in cymbals found by Pearl) (two 10). There are also gadgets such as drums and sticks.
Performance: Although it is the lowest product of "Pearl", it is the first brand product in the world after all. Its biggest advantage is portability. Although it has the function of silencing sound, with the popularization of dumb drum skin, it is no longer a feature. Its production process is impeccable, but because it is portable and the depth of the drum cavity is shortened, the timbre is slightly worse than other models of "Pearl".
Target series: Alto is insured for 3388 yuan, including one snare drum, two drums, one floor drum, one hammer and three cymbals (pearls are produced by a manufacturer specializing in cymbals) (two 65438). There are also gadgets such as drums and sticks.
Performance: Although it is also the lowest product of "Pearl", it is the first brand product in the world after all. Its greatest advantage is its cheapness. Its hardware is one model lower than that of Rhythmic Traveler, but because of its deep drum cavity and double skin, its adjustability is greatly increased, and its timbre will be more delicate and moving. This is specially produced for the China market.
Fx and Ex, Elx series: This may be a bit too expensive for everyone, because their online quotation is not only high, but also has no hardware and cymbals ... I won't go into details here (American brand, Japanese research and development-all made in Taiwan Province Province).
TAMA's sw series: common five-inch configuration (same as "Pearl" and "Target"), the lowest online quotation is 4,700 RMB, without cymbals. Performance is better than "target" and "rhythm traveler" (both are more expensive). Its configuration belongs to the minimum configuration of TAMA (Japanese brand-made in Taiwan).
The low allocation of "MAPEX" is also good. It is an authentic domestic product (made in Taiwan Province Province), and the high price can compete with DW and the two brands mentioned above. Its low-end model seems to be called "V" series.
"SABIAN" is a wok made in Canada and a new brand opened in Canada by the partners of the former "ZILDJIAN". B8 series in wok is a very cost-effective series with many models. There are three pieces (two treading cymbals and one hanging cymbals), two sets (two special cymbals) and four pieces (one Ding Ding cymbals is added to the three pieces) and so on. Price 1700~ 1900(4 pieces).
"Kang" wok, made in Wuhan, the price is below 900 yuan. Four-piece package, really no money to choose. Now Chengdu "bistro" uses this brand. It has been used for several years and has not been damaged by domestic drummers-it is resistant to beating.
BASIX: a brand invested by German technology in China. Drum sets and high-end models can be used well, but they are also expensive.
The above introductions are available in China, which has become the minimum configuration for traditional professional drummers.
The following are drums:
If you have 3500 yuan: buy the "target" of "Pearl"! That thing is worth it, and the cymbals are better than any domestic cymbals (at least more suitable for you to practice). There are a bunch of scraps such as stools, drums and teaching materials for you. Take good care of them.
If you have 4000 yuan and want to practice basic skills at home alone, buy a "rhythm walker"! It is absolutely convenient to disassemble and take, and you can carry it with you. It is light and convenient. Use an iron pan. Stop spending money on things.
If you have 6000 yuan: buy five drums of TAMAsw with a set of "bordered" B8 cymbals, or pearl fx series with a set of "bordered" B8 cymbals.
Any performance you want is absolutely enough.
If you are an exploder, you have enough low gas: Elx825 of Pearl, HH series cymbals with Sabian, TAMAhp900tw double pedal or 2002c double pedal of Pearl, and a single signature drum with Pearl or TAMA-this is the drum configuration of China Big Board.
