A drum set is the heart of any band and one of the most important pieces of music equipment a musician will ever own. This is because the drum kit allows you to create a full, rich sound, letting your imagination run wild and providing a solid base to build upon as your skill level grows. Whether you are an experienced drummer looking to upgrade your current set or an absolute beginner, our extensive range of xtreme drum sets will provide you with everything you need to take your playing to the next level.
Choosing an acoustic drum set over an electronic setup can be a cost-effective option for anyone who wants to make the most out of their music. The best acoustic drum kits are a perfect fit for any level of drummer, from beginners to professional musicians, with shells made of quality woods that provide a full-bodied sound. Most acoustic kits also include cymbals, allowing you to tailor the kit to suit your style and budget.
The most important consideration when purchasing an acoustic drum set is the overall sound quality. The key to getting the best sound out of your acoustic drum set is a good cymbal selection. You’ll want to choose a ride cymbal, which is usually larger and delivers a more sustained sound than other cymbals, such as crashes. Then choose a pair of crash and hi-hat cymbals to complement your ride, giving you a balanced combination of sounds.
Another consideration when buying an acoustic drum kit is the size and portability of the set. Many modern drum kits are compact and portable, making them ideal for travel or busking. Our range of acoustic drum sets have been created with this in mind, offering a variety of sizes to suit your needs and a choice of shell materials to optimise the sound quality.
When shopping for an acoustic drum set, you’ll also need to decide whether you want to go with an all-in-one kit or a shell pack. An all-in-one kit includes cymbals, hardware and sometimes even a throne, giving you everything you need to start playing right away. Alternatively, you can purchase a shell pack only, which includes the drums but not any cymbals or hardware. This will give you the freedom to choose your own cymbals and hardware later on, enabling you to customise the kit according to your preferences and budget.
The first thing you’ll notice about the Premier Genista 100SE 22pc Shell Kit is its stunning Forge Black finish. This is a special edition Premier kit that combines classic Premier style and heritage with innovative innovation. The maple-ash shells produce a warm tone that echoes traditional Premier kits of old but with trust-worthy, modern reliability and durability.
Another unique feature of this kit is its floor tom, which can be transformed into a snare drum by attaching snare wires. This versatility is unique to Yamaha and opens up a world of new possibilities for the drumming enthusiast.
