If you are going to rent or buy drum sets Denver shops have, knowing how to set it up can be useful for playing efficiently and maintaining a good posture.
Let’s see what drum sets are typically built of and basics for setting them up.
- Stool/throne
Set your stool as high enough to maintain a good and relaxed posture. The knees should not be higher than the tights and the legs should not be too flat. Adjusting the stool correctly will prevent injuries and will allow you to reach all the instruments easily.
- Kick drum+ bass pedal
The kick drum (known also as ‘bass drum’) must be placed all the time at the center of your drum kit. Remember to attach the wooden/metal bass pedals to the hoop.
- Snare drum
The snare drum must sit between your legs at a proper distance between your tights and the side of the snare drum, so it can be comfortable.
- Toms
There are different types of toms, but floor and mounted toms are the two types commonly found in the majority of drum sets. The floor toms should be at the same height as the snare drums, meanwhile, the mounted toms would typically be at a slight angle towards the player.
- Hi-Hat
Always position the hi-hat at the left of the snare. Positioning at the same level or lower than the snare can be harder to hit it, so remember to adjust higher than it.
- Cymbals
Start with the heaviest one-the ride cymbal. It should be set up on the right, slightly higher than the floor tom.
On the left side of your drum kit, between the mounted tom and the floor tom, you should set up the crash cymbal.
Now your drum set is built!
