Drummers should be well equipped<\/strong> with a drum kit<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0a cymbal set<\/strong><\/a>, necessary hardware<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0drumsticks<\/strong><\/a> and hearing protection<\/strong><\/a>. In addition to these basic necessities there are several aids<\/strong> to help make life easier. Here is a list of ten useful utensils to keep in a drummer\u2019s arsenal.<\/p>\n

\"Vater<\/a>1. Stick holder
\n<\/strong>Whether you\u2019re on stage or in the rehearsal room, we all know the problem: where to keep your sticks safe such as\u00a0a stick bag<\/strong><\/a>, but also within reach and ready for action. The stick holder easily adapts to any cymbal- or hi-hat stand. It\u2019s is available in two designs, one for a pair of drumstricks<\/strong><\/a> and one for several pairs of drumstricks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Tama<\/a>2. Quick release cymbal lock
\n<\/strong>Simply give the buttons a squeeze, insert the Cymbal mate and release to instantly lock your cymbal on any stand up to 8mm. The Tama Quick Cymbal Mate<\/strong><\/a>, drastically reduces the assembly time of your kit, making that lengthy search for misplaced cymbal screws in dim lit stages a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

\"Evans<\/a>3. Tuning key adapter
\n<\/strong>All drummers should have a tuning key for their drums. The Evans drill bit<\/strong><\/a> is an electric screwdriver adapter which is compatible to all fixing screws in standard drums. This helps save time on maintenance, leaving more time to play<\/p>\n

\"Thomann<\/a>4.<\/strong> Drum rug
\n<\/strong><\/a>Power slides, as Jack Black graciously demonstrated in \u201cTenacious D in The Pick of Destiny\u201d is useful for guitarists, but for drummers not so much. A Thomann drum rug<\/a>,<\/strong> will not only prevent slippage but help mark your territory on stage and in your rehearsal room. It even offers enough coverage for larger setups and are also visually pleasing. As for those interested in other designs, you can opt for\u00a0camo <\/a><\/strong>or an oriental design<\/a><\/strong> by Meinl<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Drum<\/a>5.<\/strong> Double bass drum pedal
\n<\/strong><\/a>Not entirely exclusive for fans of heavy music, the double bass pedal should simply be a part of every modern drumkit. The DW 3002 Pedal<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is ideal for the entry level double bass drummer. Also amongst the favourites on the speed track is the Millenium PD-222<\/a><\/strong>. As for the advanced sprinters, strap yourselves up with the\u00a0Demon Drive from Pearl<\/strong><\/a> and you’re set\u00a0to take pole position in F1.<\/p>\n

\"Millenium<\/a>6. Effect Drum
\n<\/strong>For funky accents and a second higher snare sound<\/strong> that considerably differs from the main snare, we suggest adding a classic 10\u201d Brass Side Snare by Millennium<\/strong><\/a> under the hood. As for those looking to broaden the percussive sounds, we recommend the use of the Meinl Drummer Timbale<\/a><\/strong> or Piccolo Toms\u00a0by\u00a0DW<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Ahead7.<\/strong> Drum Bags
\n<\/strong><\/a>When the time comes for a drummer to first play on stage, they usually encounter a big problem: how to safely transport their precious kit. The\u00a0Millenium Tour Drum Bag Set Fusion 1<\/strong><\/a> is a good choice to protect your kit from bumps and scratches. And if it is still not enough, the set of Ahead Armor<\/strong><\/a> bags lets you carry more material. And if that ain\u2019t hard enough for you, then make sure to check out these Hardcase Drum Case Set<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Korg8.<\/strong> Metronome
\n<\/strong><\/a>If one of your band mates hands you a metronome, it\u2019s probably a hint to work on your timing. Which\u00a0in any case is\u00a0always a good\u00a0idea. The Korg MA-1<\/strong><\/a> can be of great assistance and comes in a handy pocket-size. The Tama Rw30<\/strong><\/a> is equipped with multiple functions and programmable rhythms and comes at a fair price. Should you need a metronome by your side while on stage, then the Millenium Rhythmpumper<\/a><\/strong> is more than ideal, thanks to its power adapter.<\/p>\n

\"Vic9. Drummer Headphones
\n<\/strong>Whether you need to hear your metronome click more prominently or to simply play along to your favourite track while protecting your ears, then you can\u2019t ignore the Vic Firth SIH 1<\/strong><\/a>. A good alternative on a buget is the t.bone HD 990D<\/strong><\/a> headphones. Another tip: try miking your kit with a few additional microphones<\/strong><\/a> for a proper studio atmosphere on the ears.<\/p>\n

\"AKG10. Bass drum microphone
\n<\/a><\/strong>To produce more texture and thickness, you can mic and amplify the sound of the bass drum. The t.bone<\/strong><\/a> has a practical and affordable assortment such as the BD 300 Bundle<\/a><\/strong>, which includes microphone and tripod. Going up in price, we find the classic D 112 MKII<\/strong><\/a> by\u00a0AKG<\/a><\/strong>. Connect the cable, send it to the mixer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and we’re ready to rumble!<\/p>\n
