Drum accessories are an essential part of every drum setup. Hardly any other instrument offers so many options for customization, expansion and fine-tuning your sound. From practice and tuning to miking and hearing protection, the right accessories make daily playing easier, improve sound quality and protect both gear and hearing.
As drums are among the instruments with the widest range of accessories and spare parts, the MUSIC STORE online shop offers an extensive selection – from essential tools for beginners to specialized solutions for studio, stage and rehearsal room.
Practice pads and metronomes are core tools for every drummer. Practice pads allow you to work on rudiments, technique and stick control at very low volume – ideal for home practice, backstage warm-ups or traveling.
Metronomes support timing development when learning grooves, fills or playing with other musicians. They are used for practice, live performance and studio work whenever solid tempo control is required.
Clamps, multi-clamps and mounting hardware help keep your kit stable and make it easy to expand. Whether you want to add extra toms or percussion add-ons like cowbells and wood blocks, the right accessories let you tailor your setup to your playing style.
Alongside classic mounting solutions, you’ll also find adapters for stands and screws and small parts for maintenance and replacement. For stand mounting, it’s also worth checking clamps and holders to integrate instruments and add-ons cleanly into your kit.
Tuning keys are essential for getting your snare, toms and bass drum into shape. They let you tighten tuning rods evenly, which directly affects response, pitch and sustain.
Depending on your needs, you’ll find classic square-drive keys, ergonomic designs, high-tension keys for marching drums, and even bit adapters for cordless drills.
Snare wires have a major impact on response, buzz and the overall character of a snare drum. Material, wire gauge and the number of strands directly influence sensitivity and sound.
Replacing or upgrading the wires is especially worthwhile if you want a cleaner response or a more tailored snare sound.
Drum microphones are designed to handle high sound pressure levels and fast transients. They’re used for live gigs and studio recording alike, delivering punch and clarity where it matters.
Besides dedicated mics for kick drum, snare or overheads, complete mic sets are a convenient solution for rehearsal rooms and stage setups.
Hearing protection is especially important for drummers, as they’re regularly exposed to high volume levels. Filter hearing protection reduces volume evenly without dramatically changing the sound.
There are also suitable options for concert-goers and for children – from simple earplugs to earmuff-style protection.
Dampers, gel pads and muffling rings help control overtones and shape your drum sound. Bass drum patches protect the head from wear caused by the beater.
In cymbal accessories you’ll also find felts, sleeves, cymbal rivets and cleaning products.
Hoops and tom mounts affect both stability and the sound of a drum kit. Different materials and designs can change sustain and feel.
They’re a great choice for replacement parts, repairs, or targeted upgrades to existing drums.
As a beginner, it’s best to start with accessories that make practice, tuning and everyday playing easier. This helps you get better sound faster and progress more quickly.
Tip: If your kit sounds “off,” it’s often not the drums – it’s tuning, snare wires or damping. Accessories make the biggest difference there.
Practice pads are ideal for improving rudiments, control and endurance without the volume of a full kit. They’re perfect for technique work and warm-ups.
Tip: A medium rebound is the most versatile—too bouncy can hide technique issues, too dead can be discouraging at first.
A metronome makes timing measurable. It helps you stay solid in tempo, clean up transitions and make grooves feel tight—solo or with a band.
Practice tip: Don’t just play “to the click”—try gaps (e.g., 1 bar click, 1 bar silent) to develop internal time.
Good tuning starts with tightening rods evenly. Work in small steps (e.g., quarter turns) and follow a star pattern to keep tension balanced.
Tip: For a quick check, tap near each rod—small pitch differences are easy to hear.
Snare wires strongly affect response, sensitivity and buzz. If your snare feels sluggish, rattly or inconsistent, new wires can make a big improvement—often more cost-effective than replacing the drum.
Tip: Choose the right size (e.g., 14") and make sure the wires sit centered without pulling to one side.
Clamps and mounts let you build a modular setup—adding cowbells, woodblocks, splashes, tambourines or an extra tom. The key is choosing hardware that matches your stand diameter and holds securely.
Tip: Consider weight and leverage—stable placement beats “wobbly” solutions at the edge of the kit.
For getting started, a complete drum mic set is often the fastest solution: kick, snare, tom mics plus overheads. Later you can upgrade individual mics for more specific results.
Tip: Even with just a few mics (kick + overheads), placement can deliver a very musical sound.
The “best” option depends on the goal: more control (less ringing), shorter sustain or a drier, more focused sound. Often a small amount of damping is enough.
Tip: Start minimal: optimize tuning first, then add damping—never the other way around.
Bass drum patches protect the head from beater wear and can also add attack. They’re especially useful for frequent playing, harder beater surfaces or when you want a more defined kick articulation live or in the studio.
Tip: Place the patch exactly where the beater hits—otherwise you may get unwanted clicking at the edge.
For drummers, filtered hearing protection is usually the best choice. It reduces volume evenly and preserves tonal balance better than basic foam plugs, so your kit and the band still sound natural—just quieter.
Tip: Consistent protection at moderate attenuation is better than occasional “too much”—it’s easier to stick with long-term.
