It is very important to have drum parts and drum accessories available for gigs and recording studios. Have you ever shown up to a show or studio and misplaced, forgotten, or even broke an important drum set part or accessory? There is nothing more frustrating and can create a panic situation at performance time when you realize your drum set is not fully functional.

Make a checklist of drum set parts and accessories

You can never be too organized and making a list of items to transport gives you additional security. The checklist should be a priority in helping you acquire all the necessary pieces of the drum kit. The easiest way to make your list is to start with the drums such as the bass drum, floor tom, rack toms, and snare drum.

Next would be cymbals, cymbal stands, snare stand and other drum hardware. A rug for the drum set should definitely be on the list. This item can be easily overlooked but crucial to the venues that do not have carpet to prevent the kit from moving. You can also use the checklist to gather everything after your performance.
