Drum Sets: Setting the Beat
Drum sets are indispensable additions to any band. Every music band typically needs at least three members; a drummer, a bass player, and a guitarist. Especially rock and pop bands need drummers to keep the beat going while the vocalist belts out the words. In popular culture, drums signify energy and liveliness, and are known to have a positive effect on the player’s personal attitude in the long run.
Drums are of two types, such as, acoustic drums, and Electronic Drums. Acoustic drums are, as the name suggests, full manual. These have to be manually tuned prior to playing and depend on the drummer’s skill to create good music. Electronic drums, on the other hand, have amplifiers, speakers, or even auto-tuning mechanisms attached to them. This makes tuning these drums significantly easier than the acoustic ones.
There are some pros and cons of both acoustic and electronic drums. Acoustic drums allow a seasoned drummer to literally play around (pun intended) with his kit. The drummer can add overtones, remove overtones, muffle sound, magnify sound; all with the correct turn of some screws. These do not depend on any additional instruments, except maybe a microphone put in front of them at times. But an Electronic Drum Set will depend on amplifiers, speakers or even additional electronic beat changers to produce the right kind of music. This makes carrying them around quite cumbersome.
Acoustic drums are full manual instruments, and thus require a lot of time and patience to master. The characteristic “crack” that drummers love to create cannot be produced unless the sweet spot is struck, which is located in a different spot for each drum. Locating it may take hours of strenuous practice. In an electronic drum set, the beats are electronically produced, so the “crack” can be produced at will. However, most veteran drummers insist that the electronic “crack” does not come anywhere close to its manual variant in terms of quality.
Electronic drums can act as an easy way out for budding drummers who do not wish to stay glued to the kit for hours at a stretch. But, in order to fully master the art, one needs to practice with acoustic drums. Not only do these improve the player’s understanding of music, these also prepare their ears so that they can easily recognize one wrong tone among many correct ones. This helps them perfect their skills in the long run.
Drum sets are great instruments to have around. But, in order to master them, a budding drummer must endure hours of strenuous practice.

Are there any places to learn the drums/drum set?
I really really want to learn the drum set, but i don't know any places where they actually teach the drums. So, any places you know? AND are there like studios that can teach us? And about how much are the drum sets?
Check with your local music store. They sometimes have teachers that will come in a give lessons in their store. If they don't provide lessons, they might have the name of a private teacher that you can contact.
Yes, depending on the size of your town, there are music studios where you can take lessons. Check you local phone directory for studios and teachers.
You might also check with the local high school band director to see if they know of someone who teaches drum set.
Also, if you have a large book store available you can sometimes find books that come with some type of video, CD or cassette on playing the different instruments. There are also some on-line sites. Not necessarily your best choices, but they might get you started until an instructor can be found.
Just remember, learning on-line or from a book or dvd is not the best way. A real, live instructor can teach you better, answer your questions and watch to keep you from developing bad habits that you may have to spend long hours to correct later on.
Hope this is some help. Good luck.
