Gammon Drums Are A Great Deal

Gammon drums are becoming more and more popular with entry level and intermediate players.  This is because with Gammon Drums you tend to get more than what you pay for.  If you are looking for a new drum set, and you are on a tight budget Gammon drums are one of the best deals out there.

First, all sets of Gammon drums are sold with everything that you need to play.  This means they come with all of the drums, drum heads, cymbals, and hardware, including the drummer’s throne.  Gammon is the only drum company out there that is including everything that you need to get started.  Typically drum companies do not include things like both a ride cymbal and a crash cymbal, and drummer’s thrones with their drum sets.  All sets of Gammon drums include drummer’s thrones, and many of the full sized sets include both a ride cymbal and crash cymbal.

 

Second, Gammon drums hold up well by comparison to other beginner drum sets.  In most cases, the drum hardware on beginner drum sets is very cheap and flimsy hardware that falls over easily, and breaks easily.  On Gammon drums top selling full sized drum sets, all of the hardware is double braced, and both the bass drum pedal and the hi hat are chain drive.  This drum hardware is made to last.

Third, Gammon drums come in all kinds of cool colors.  Of course they have your standard black, red and, blue, but if you are looking for something a little unique they also have colors like green and purple.  They even have pink if you want it.

Probably the biggest complaint about Gammon drums is the drum heads that are shipped with them.  The drum heads are single ply and cheap which makes any drum difficult to tune properly.  This can be easily fixed with a better set of drum heads.  With decent  

heads they tune up fine, and they sound pretty darn good.

When students tell me that they want a set of drums, but they don’t have enough money, I tell them to check out Gammon drums.  I have even recommended them to some of my gigging friends.  Gammon drums are a great alternative to taking a real expensive drum set out on the road, where it will get all banged up.
