When shopping for drum sets, or any other instrument, many people are confused by the massive amount of information out there, and don’t know where to turn or how to make their actual purchase decisions. I, too, have been inundated before and stuck with “analysis paralysis”, but over time I have come up with a few factors that I use when I am purchasing musical equipment.
One, does the drum kit that you are buying have a warranty? This is the most crucial stage of the game for me, because if a drum manufacturer has a warranty on their product, especially a lifetime warranty, it means that they know their drums are quality and are not worried about promising you your money back because they know that you won’t need it. The most popular drum manufacturers, companies like Pearl Drums, always offer this kind of protection on their products because they are confident in the durability of their product.
Now, this isn’t to say that you absolutely shouldn’t buy a drum set from a smaller producer, but just be careful and make sure that you ask them how they actually construct their drums, because when you find out the process that they use to make their drums, you will be able to determine for yourself how long they will actually last for. Again, larger drum companies like Yamaha Drums use forty-year time-tested processes to manufacture their equipment, and have thousands of customers to prove that it lasts.
What I mean to say is, when it comes to buying a drum set, you want something that’s is going to be reliable, hassle-free, easy to set-up and maintain. You have to think about what sound you are going for first, considering what kind of drum set is going to fulfill those needs, and then pick a company that can guarantee you that their product works for you. I have had poor experiences before with “custom drum companies” who offered no customer service, and didn’t finish their drums properly, and received no compensation for my losses. Therefore, from one drummer to another, I urge you to think of reliability and durability as your two primary factors, not for choosing what kind of drum sound you want, but for choosing from whom you are going to purchase that sound.
