Buying a drum kit: acoustic or electronic?
Every drummer faces the same question. An acoustic kit delivers the genuine sound and full dynamic range – perfect for the rehearsal room and the stage. Electronic drum kits shine when you need to practise quietly: put on headphones, turn the volume down, and enjoy built-in sounds and practice features on top. Many drummers use both these days. If you are not sure which way to go, our team in Karlsruhe will help you compare – both worlds are set up and ready to play in our store.
Cymbals, snares and hardware
A drum kit is only as good as its components. Our cymbal section covers hi-hats, crashes and rides in every sonic flavour – from bright and cutting to dark and dry. Add snare drums for any sound you are after, plus pedals, thrones and stands, and consumables such as drum heads and drumsticks. Everything else you need to keep playing lives in our drum accessories section.
Percussion: cajons, congas & more
Rhythm does not always require a full kit. Our cajon & percussion range includes cajons, congas, bongos, shakers and small percussion – for acoustic gigs, music lessons or as an extra colour in the studio. The cajon in particular is the easiest way into drumming: one instrument, one seat, off you go.
