There are loads of reasons to opt for an electronic drum kit over an acoustic option, and some of the same factors need to be considered. Before you buy an electronic drum kit online, map out the floor space you have available to make sure it’ll fit, and consider the noise factor too. It’s a different sound to an acoustic drum kit, sure, but the tapping and thumping should be considered too. This can be countered with different types of pads, so keep this in mind when choosing.
How to set up an electronic drum kit from scratch
Good electronic drum kits are ones that offer the sound, tone and effects. Sound is subjective, so it’s really up to you to compare sounds, whether that’s done online or by heading in-store.. Think about what you’re using the kit for too: will it stand up to live performances?
When you buy an electronic drum kit online, you’ll find that the manufacturer has put together the bare bones for what you’ll need to achieve a great sound. You can add to the kit with individual items, or if you’re setting up your own rig from scratch, we suggest selecting at least four drums as a solid base for getting started, including three tom-toms and a snare drum. Pick up three cymbals: a high-hat and a controller pedal, a crash and aride, and add a bass drum for a full range of sound.
