  • Practice Pad

For the beginner, practicing on the pad will help to develop good hand technique and strengthen the muscles that are required to play the drums.

You can choose the one recommended by the professional.

  • Acoustic Drum Set

Entry-level sets include a snare drum, bass drum, two rack toms, floor toms, and other necessary hardware to mount the position of the drum. Also required are hi-hats, a crash cymbal, a ride cymbal, a stand to mount them, and many more. But for beginners, suggest you start with a single bass drum and can eventually develop a double pedal for another area of exploration as per the upgradation of learning level.

  • Electronic Drum Set

If you do not have enough space, then electronic drums might be better than acoustic drums. As this drum has a picture mesh head of quiet rubber counterparts for a realistic feel and is more durable. You can also have silent practice by plugging the headphones directly into the drum computer.

  • Hearing Protection

While playing acoustic drum requires hearing protection, which helps to protect the ear while practicing. Isolation headphones or ear plugs will protect your hearing well and need to be used every time you play the drums. Also helps to hear the drums through the headphones without the need for a separate amplifier.

  • Notebook

You might ultimately acquire an entire drum set after a proper course of drum learning.
