Drums what do I need?
alright, i got a drum set Saturday but can't actually have it til Christmas. It's a mapex meridian maple 5 piece. i've got the hi hat and crash cymbal. what else do i need as far as cymbals go? there's a spot kinda between the high and low toms for a cymbal. i can't remember what kind the woman who sold it to me said, tho. think it was a splat? is there anything else i should buy? the bass pedal is good, and the drum heads sound great. if you could tell me what to get as far as tuning goes. which product do you use? thanks. i'm a string girl. :P guitar, bass, violin, piano... new to the drums.
If the only cymbals you have are hi hats and a crash, then the only other important one you need would be a ride cymbal. Splash cymbals aren't quite as important. I would recommend waiting to get a splash cymbal until your drum set is more "complete" and after you have gained some decent experience, as it sounds like you may be a beginner. There really is no need to place a cymbal in any gaps between your toms, unless your setup is much like mine. (I have a 5 piece setup, with my highest tom placed where you'd normally place it and the lower two toms placed further to my right than usual, leaving enough space to place a ride, which are usually 20"-24" in diameter, between my highest and middle tom. This setup is different than the average setup. Check the link under my "sources" for a picture. This is not my drum set.) As far as tuning goes, all you really need is a drum tuning key, which should have come with your drum set if it's new. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions. Hope this helped. =]
