With these two solutions, you will be able to practice drumming just about any time you want without being noisy and disturbing anyone in your home as well as your neighbors. The first solution is by equipping your drum set with drum pad silencers. By putting this rubber-like material on the top of your drums, the sound made by the drum when you hit it will be absorbed. Heavy cymbals will sound very different from medium or light weight cymbals. Once you determined the weight of the cymbal you need, you can start playing the cymbals yourself. This is where you will start to identify the various sounds you create. So, you will eventually know what kind of cymbal will complement your type of music. This set will include the snare, bass, two mounted toms, and one floor tom. It should also include the basic cymbals, which are the crash, ride, and hi-hat. Another rule when buying a used drum set is that you should never go for cheap store brands that are usually found at large shopping stores. It may be cheap but the quality will usually not be good. Although the cymbals and the other hardware that comes with the set will not really be of superb quality, you can always upgrade it later on. If you are already an experienced drummer, then upgrading the cymbals and hardware are a must. You can also invest in a shell pack if you already have the cymbals and hardware you want. First, who will be using the drum set? If you are going to buy a drum set for a beginner drummer, it is highly recommended that you get a 5 piece drum set. The 5 piece drum set will be composed of the snare, bass drum, two mounted toms, and a floor tom. Along with the drums, this set will also have the cymbals, pedal, and other hardware. Try to get your knees to touch your chest and bring it back down. Do the same with the other leg. Repeat this exercise 10 times on each leg. After warming up, you can start the drum playing warm up, which is basically doing the rudiments. Once you are comfortable and relaxed, you can start playing the drums.
