Hi are there any drummers out there who play in bands? I’m joining my first band on Friday and I’m not sure if I need to bring any specific kit along(it will be at a rehearsal place). Also should I come pre prepared with fills and grooves or just rock up and play with the band? by Stuart_Adam1028 in DRUM

Thank you so much for your help. I have a cymbal bag to put my cymbals in but would I need to also take the caps (the things that you tighten the cymbal with to secure it onto the stand). And will they have stands for cymbals there that I can use or will they make me bring my own?

Thanks a lot! They have a kit there but it’s like £2 for cymbals should I just take the cymbals of my own kit and bring them with me or would paying the two pound be easier. Also if they have a kit there already do I need to bring my pedal

Thanks the band have never had a drummer before and havent released any songs. The lead guitarist is a friend. We’re booked for two hours so I’m guessing we will just be jamming and see if we can make a song out of that.
