If the combination is good, choose it according to your financial situation
I personally recommend not to buy one that is too poor, as it will not be beneficial to the entire study
About "Beginner's Day" "How do scholars choose drums?" is a problem that troubles many drummers in China who are not economically wealthy.
When I was in Chongqing, I used a set of very poor quality drums for a few years. Now I realize that the cost of doing so is very high.
In short, how to choose a set of percussion instruments that suits you first requires you to determine a position for your development: are you going to be a professional drummer, or are you trying to see if you can play drums, or are you just On a whim?
1: If you just like music and want to try whether you can play the drums, and then decide whether to become a real drummer, then there is no need for you to buy it. Because even a second-hand set of cheap drums often costs several hundred yuan.
2: If you just want to learn on a whim, please think calmly: Will I still be able to treat my drum with the same passion as now in 5 years? If the answer is "Yes!", Well, please refer to Article 3. If it’s “not necessarily”, then just find a place where you can play drums and deal with it first, because blindly buying drums will cost you dearly.
3: For those who want to become a real drummer, you should choose a good friend among the high-end "Jinbao", "Pearl", "TAMA" or "MAPEX" that will really make you obsessed.
From the posture of playing drums, the attention to drum sound, feel, and understanding of drums - a drum with poor quality can make you useless in five years.
If you are willing to spend five years to destroy yourself and finally give up, or spend the same money to buy a real drum set and then spend five years to correct what you have done with the poor quality drums. If you have made a bunch of "mistakes" in practice, you don't need to read the following paragraphs.
Now we analyze the mid-range drums worthy of drummers’ choice in terms of price and performance:
“Pearl” drums are the best-selling brand in the world, and they have the best production in the world. Craftsmanship and professionalism. Moreover, after being represented by "Zhongyin" company, we can buy the "Pearl" drum set that can be used with confidence at a suitable price.
The following models of "Pearl" should be suitable for you to choose:
"Rhythm Traveler": The "Alto" is insured at RMB 3,888, including: a snare drum, Two toms, one floor tom, one pedal, three cymbals (made by "Pearl" from a manufacturer specializing in cymbal production) (two 14-inch hi-hats, one 18-inch crash cymbal), pedal One cymbal stand, one crash cymbal stand, one snare stand, and two tom stands. It also comes with drum sticks and other gadgets.
Performance: Although it is the most low-end product of "Pearl", it is the product of the world's number one brand after all. Its biggest advantage is portability. Although it has a muffler function, with the popularity of dumb drum heads, this is no longer a feature. Its production process is impeccable, but due to the shortened depth of the drum shell for portability, the sound quality is inferior compared to other models of "Pearl".
"Target" series:": "Alto" is insured at RMB 3,388, including: one snare drum, two toms, one floor tom, one pedal, and cymbals (provided by "Pearl "Find three cymbals (two 14-inch hi-hats and one 18-inch crash cymbal) produced by a manufacturer that specializes in the production of cymbals, one hi-hat stand, one crash cymbal stand, one snare stand, and two tom stands. It also comes with drum sticks and other gadgets.
Performance: Although it is also the lowest-end product of "Pearl", its biggest advantage is that it is a product of the world's number one brand. Its hardware is one model lower than the "Rhythm Traveler", but due to the deep shell and double-layer skin, its adjustability is greatly increased, and its tone will be more delicate and moving. It is specially designed for China. Produced on the market.
Fx, Ex, and Elx series: This may be a bit too expensive for everyone, because not only are their online prices high, but they also come without hardware and no cymbals are included. ...I won’t go into details here (American brand, Japanese research and development-all made in Taiwan)
TAMA’s sw series: ordinary five-tom configuration (same as the “target” of “Pearl”). ), the lowest price quoted online is RMB 4,700, without cymbals. Its performance is better than "Target" and "Rhythm Traveler" (both of which are more expensive). Its configuration is the lowest configuration of TAMA (Japanese brand----). All are made in Taiwan).
The low-end models of "MAPEX" are also good. They are authentic domestic products (made in Taiwan), and the high-end models can compete with "DW" and the two brands mentioned above. . Its low-end model seems to be called the "V" series.
"SABIAN" is a cymbal made in Canada. It is a new brand established in Canada by the partners of the original "ZILDJIAN". The B8 series is a very cost-effective series, with many models available in 3-piece packages (two hi-hats, one crash cymbal), two-piece sets (two special effect cymbals), and 4-piece packages (in a 3-piece package). Basically add a ride cymbal) and so on.
The price is 1700~1900 (pack of 4 pieces).
"Kang" cymbals are produced in Wuhan, and the price is less than 900 yuan. They come in a pack of four. It is really a poor choice. This brand is now used by "Taverns" in Chengdu. It has been used for several years and has been used by China. The drummer has been ruined until now and has not been broken yet - durable.
“BASIX”: A brand with German technology investment in China. The high-end drum sets are usable, but they are also expensive.
The above introduction is what is available in China and is the minimum configuration for a traditional professional drummer.
The following is the drum set:
If you have 3500 yuan: buy "Pearl" and go to "Target"! That thing is worth it, and the cymbals are better than any cymbals made in China (at least more suitable for your practice). There are stools, drum sticks, teaching materials and other miscellaneous things given to you, take good care of them.
If you have 4,000 yuan and want to practice basic skills at home alone, buy the "Rhythm Traveler"! It is absolutely easy to dismantle and carry, and it is light and easy to carry around. With cymbals. No more spending money on accessories.
If you have 6,000 yuan: buy a TAMAsw five-drum set with a "Sabian" B8 set of cymbals, or a "Pearl" fx series with a "Sabian" B8 set of cymbals.
It is definitely enough for any performance you want to do.
If you are a nouveau riche and have enough money: "Pearl" Elx825, add "Sabian" HH series cymbals, add TAMAhp900tw double pedals or Pearl's 2002c double pedals, single with a " Pearl" or "TAMA" signature snare drum----This is the drum configuration of the Chinese drum...
