I have a Ludwig Accent CS custom bass drum for my drum set. I am hoping on adding another bass drum Do I need to buy the same one or which one would work best?

hey, I play a vintage Ludwig kit and finding the exact bass drum has proved futile. It really depends a lot on what you are hoping to do. If you want the "look" from a dbl bass kit, i'd say get the same bass drum if you can. If you want it for the practical use, i would invest in a dbl bass pedal. if you use another bass drum that is different you may have a headache getting them tuned to sound exact (though this can still be an issue w/ the exact custom bass drum if you get two). With a good dbl bass pedal, both beaters hit the same drum for the same sound. Not sure if this helps. Either way, keep hittin' away! Hey thanks so much! I am the questioner but what set do you have? Hey i am also looking at adding more toms on.... Have you added any on your set? What brands are they? Ludwig is a great brand but they just don't have much extra drums to add on... I got my set from my dad for Christmas from the biggest drum shop on the east coast! I am mainly adding on for both look and practice. I am not the world's best drummer but I practice all the time and I am really improving... Can you upload a picture of your set so i can get some ideas? Do you have a dbl pass drum or pedal???? thanks so much!


Would it be better to buy a double bass or a double bass pedal?

Both of them will get you to a similar point: being able to play bass drums with both feet. Advantages of a double bass pedal over two bass drums: lower cost, one less bass drum to move, one less drum to tune, and it keeps your kit smaller--very important if you play in bars with small stages. Two bass drums? They sound better--you can position the beaters for each drum so they play the sweet spots on the drums. You can mount four rack toms instead of just two. Two bass drums make the instrument look more imposing. And I've always wanted to try using two different-sized bass drums, so I could play bass lines with two different tones. That would sound cool. I've seen people build a double bass kit out of a standard kit and a fusion kit, which has smaller toms than does the standard kit. This also gives you a second snare, which you need onstage just in case you break your snare drum during a set.

What percussion instrument is not part of a stranded drum set of drum kit?

A wood block is kind of a drum "accessory". The Essentials of a standard drum kit are the following: Hi hat,Ride and Crash cymbals and mounted tom toms, floor tom, bass drum and snare drum. Of course with that you also need the bass drum pedal,Hi hat stand, Cymbal stands, tom holders, and etc. A wood block would be added if needed but it is not essential to a standard kit.
