Most drum sets are usually sold as complete kits with all the drums required, drum hardware, cymbals hi-hats and drum throne (Drummers call their seats throne. That's where they rule the beats!). However, it is important that you note that a good number of drum kits do not include cymbals, hi-hats, hardware and drum throne.

Drum kits come in various shapes, sizes and pieces. You can get 4 piece drum sets that are made up of a bass drum, snare drum, one tom tom and a floor tom (also called side tom).

Such basic drum kits are usually okay for beginners. You can start building your drum skills with those. As your ability increases and you start developing taste and preferences, you can add more drums to your set up.

If keeping the time and setting the groove is your thing, then you need drum kits to help you get them thumping their feet. If you're already making them thump their feet, then you already know what you need. This one is for those who are new to drumming.

For such drum kits, you'll need to pick your cymbals, hi-hats and other things. This is where you'll eventually end up if you take up drums more seriously. Professional drummers usually prefer to handpick their own drums, hardware, and all.

We once had a swish cymbal which was smashed by a novice drummer. When our experienced drummer came around he was pained to see this great cymbal from Zlidjan destroyed. The amatuer thought that every cymbal could be hit like the crash cymbal. So, give yourself enough time to know how to use the basic set. Later, you'll graduate to the other more advanced kits.

But as you start out, you will do very well with complete drum kits. Not only is this option a lot more straightforward, it is also a lot cheaper.

Buy drum kits that are within your budget. If you think a drumset is too expensive, it is. Once you are really ready to buy very expensive drum kits, you'll be cutting enough shows at fees that will make the cost chicken change.

When you practice, do so in the sitting position. You will be more relaxed and will not get tired as quickly as when standing. Make sure you get the most out of using the seated position by keeping your body upright and holding your guitar so that the back of it touches your chest. The neck of your guitar should be parallel with the floor. If, however, you prefer to stand, you will need a wide strap to spread the weight of the guitar and make it more comfy when you are playing. As an alternative to wearing a strap over your shoulder you could put one foot up on a chair or stool, thus creating a place for the guitar to rest.

Your thumb on your fretting hand needs to rest at the rear of the neck of the guitar and when playing chords you will be aware that your thumb is pressed hard against the backside of the neck. You can easily discover which location suits you best by testing the various thumb positions when you are playing different kinds of chords.

Rest your right arm loosely over the guitar and your hand should naturally fall in front of the sound hole. This is where the sound comes from when you strum the strings of the guitar over the hole. If you are playing your guitar whilst seated, rest the instrument on whichever thigh feels the most comfortable. This is usually the right thigh for right-handed players and the left for lefthanders.

A Guide To Holding Your Guitar Correctly

If you don't learn how to hold your guitar properly, you will not only feel awkward and uncomfortable but you are also likely to injure your hands and wrists in the long term. So if you want to become a budding guitarist, take note of the few handy tips detailed below.

For those of you who are left handed, there are guitars on the market specifically for left handed players or you can re-string a right handed instrument the opposite way around. As long as you remember that the thickest string needs to be the one closest to your face, it will work just as well as a left handed guitar.
