Electric Change

I have some BIG news! I am currently moving to a new apartment. When I started my learning project, I was living in a house, so I did not have to worry about the sound of my drums. I had to do some research into how I can continue my learning project once I am in my new apartment. The first thing I found was electric drums. Luckily I knew someone who was willing to sell me their electric drum kit. So here’s a picture!

Electric Drums Vs Acoustic Drums

When I did my research I came across reviews and comparisons of electric drums vs acoustic drums. The article, Electric drums vs acoustic drums – What’s right for you? summarizes some of the benefits each drum kit has. The author, Seb Atkinson talks about playability and practicality, home recording, gig playing as reasons to consider which drum kits are better for you. Atkinson stated that it is not about which is better but to view both as tools that can be benefit drummers in their learning. I hope that I will still be able to use both of my drum kits to help my learning progression. After my research, I decided to complete my own comparison.

Parts of the Electric Drums:

Since I gave you a run-through of all the parts of my acoustic drums in week three, I thought I would do the same for the electric drums.

Toms

Crash Cymbal

Hi-Hat Cymbal

Sound Module

Ride Cymbal

Bass Drum

If you are thinking, What about your acoustic drums? I want to let you know that I am still planning on keeping both drum kits. Sadly, I have to pack away my acoustic drums in a storage unit for now. Hopefully, before I move I can still record another video of myself using my acoustic drums.
