5 Reasons To Buy an Electronic Drum Set

The debate has gone on for years whether to choose an electronic drum set or acoustic drum set. Although some drummer purists insist on acoustic Drums, there is a strong case for electronic drums. A clear cut answer does not exist for everyone. It eventually comes down to your preference and personal taste. Acoustic and electronic drums do share some similarities, but the differences are dramatic as well. It is these differences that can help you make a decision when it comes time to buy a new drum kit.

An electronic drum set is much more versatile than an acoustic drum set. Very accurate samples of acoustic drums sounds can be programmed into each Drum Pad including cymbals. They can also be programmed with many other sounds as well. You can trigger literally any sound from a drum pad that you can imagine. You can realistically have multiple Drum Kits in one. Anything from a heavy metal, salsa, techno or reggae kit all in one set. This is especially helpful when it comes to recording.

Another great benefit of an electronic drum set is being able to practice noise free. One of the biggest obstacles for drummers is practicing without disturbing family, friends and neighbors. You can use headphones to mute electronic drums, while still hearing the sound yourself. In many band practice situations, acoustic drums completely overpower the rest of the Instruments. With electronic drums, you can control the volume, allowing the other band members to also turn down their instruments, making it less likely to disturb anyone else.

Most electronic drums feature the ability to Play Songs without the drum parts. If you are trying to learn a new song, this can be an awesome tool.

Transporting electronic drums is much easier as well. They are much more compact and lightweight. An electronic drum kit when broken down can fit into most average cars, unlike acoustic drums. The largest part of the set is the amplifier, which may not be needed depending on the practice or performance situation. In many cases you will be able to plug directly into a P.A. rig or a mixing console, instead of using the amplifier.

The price of electronic drums has decreased dramatically over the years. Even low priced starter kits have the features and quality that most drummers would be satisfied with. High end models are generally around the same price as comparable acoustic models.

So, don’t dismiss the possibility that an electronic drum set might be a better option.
