Do you think that a 7-piece Pearl Drum Set would be a good set to learn on?
i have played guitar for awhile and always loved drums.
but there’s alot of 5 piece sets. and i want a set with more drums. To have moreexpressionn. would this be a good set to learn on.
Listen to drummers like Buddy Rich, Bill Bruford (YES), John Bonham, Will Kennedy. They all play 4 and 5 piece sets. Most people play 4 and 5 piece sets. The best drummers are the ones who can make a 4 piece set sound like an entire orchestra. Your main goal should be to have great time, and to be a musical drummer who doesn’t overplay. The more drums and cymbals you have, the more things you’re going to want to hit. That’s the nature of us drummers. the drummers who get the most gigs and earn the most money, are the guys and gals who know how to play for the song. Most traditional jazz and rock, Latin and country gigs, don’t require a drummer to be doing a bunch of fills and showing off. However, some situations require a larger set, and different percussion instruments.
My suggestion, learn to play a 4 or 5 piece set well. Learn your craft. Sound great before looking cool.
