10 Best Drumming Accessories UK 2024 | Meinl, Pearl and More

The pesky ringing noise after live shows and practice will no longer be around due to the EAROS patent-pending Soundbore technology. Its smart design is made to follow your natural ear shape and sit comfortably in the canal and fear not, there are two size options in each box to get your perfect fit.

These are a robust set of earplugs that are specially made to preserve the quality of the audio you hear whilst softening the decibel levels and reducing noise. This means you can play as hard as you like and still hear the same quality you would without the buds in. A top pick for any drummer!

The Meinl Professional cymbal bag makes for an important ally when having to haul your cymbals from place to place. With the choice to use either its padded handles, the shoulder strap or the backpack straps, carrying your heaviest gear won't be a challenge at all.

The bag is made from reinforced fabric and has a rubber bottom to keep it going strong for longer. The main compartment is made to carry a cymbal of 22" in size, and includes two dividers so you can store more of your gear. Plus, a smaller front pouch is handily available to store hi-hats up to the size of 15".

The Big Fat Snare is a brilliant addition to add a deep tone and a layer of warmth to your hitting. The plastic ring is surrounded by a rubber rim that slots perfectly inside of a 14" snare and has a handy thumb cutout at the bottom of the skin to ensure easy removal!

This is a great tool in helping to dampen the sound your snare drum makes, especially if it leaves a ringing sound when in action. The hole in the middle of the donut allows for great contact with the snare itself to add for a true sound.

The Tama PowerPad is vital in keeping your drumsticks in one place and transporting them as simply as possible. The modern look bag comes in a choice of black, navy, red or beige blends and has the ability to carry a whopping 12 pairs of sticks. 

The bag comes with a shoulder strap to carry your sticks from place to place with absolute efficiency, and with multiple pockets, you can keep all your drumming trinkets in one spot. Another bonus of this product is the hooks, which make it possible to attach this to a floor tom for effortless access during practice or gigging. 

The Evans RealFeel is a brilliant addition to your at-home practice gear as it is a quieter alternative to your standard snare. It is an ideal weapon to help you train your hand muscles, learn rudiments and reduce the time spent away from your precious drums. 

With two sides available to play, you can get different responses; either a more natural feel or putting your arms to the test. The grey side is a 'gum rubber' which gives impressive rebound, almost like a genuine drum head. The other side is a harder rubber that makes a louder sound with impact but gives a harsher rebound which can help build strength ready to lay down the rhythm on your kit!

With this modern gadget, Soundbrenner have created a truly unique metronome to make sure you never miss a beat. After strapping this around your wrist you’ll feel the benefit with a strong vibration to alert you of the correct time signatures. The device itself is easy to control allowing you to set the rhythm and tempo with a simple twist of the wheel or tap of the screen.

Another brilliant feature is that, if you're in a band, you can connect this device to four others to keep you and your bandmates playing in sync! This is a very different take at the classic metronome, and it is reflected with its higher expense, but it can be a powerful tool in keeping you in time and laying down tracks easier. 

Pearl's pocket-size multi-tool is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to key accessories for your drumming experience. Packed to the brim with 12 tools and a bottle opener, you'll never be without the important things during your time behind the kit. 

The full package includes 6 Allen keys to help care for your pedals and 5 screwdrivers for your other hardware, as well as a handy drum key attachment to tighten your lugs. Unfortunately, the drum key does present difficulty when fully changing a drum head completely but is very handy in keeping things tight during practice!

The Ching Ring is a simple little addition to your set-up that will brighten up your cymbal hits with its tambourine-esque rings. With this, there is no need for brackets, wing nuts or other attachments as it sits perfectly over your cymbal to add a bright jingle when your stick makes contact.

The ring is built with a 4.25” space to make it universal to all cymbals and along with its stainless steel clamps, you’re sure to find a lovely tone to each hit. This doesn’t give off the loudest of sounds when your make contact with your hi-hats, so a traditional mounted option may be more your style if you’re looking for a bigger sound. 

This impressive little gadget works just like a guitar tuner would, only it's for drummers! The clip-on device sits perfectly on the rim of your drums to give an accurate reading of the frequency at each lug. Its screen gives a modern look to the reading and in comparison to its analogue equivalents, it gets you to your precise sound promptly. 

Along with most tuners, it can be a challenge to get comfortable with so it must be noted that watching instructional videos and reading the manual will make sure you get the most out of your device. 

Win the battle against loosening lugs with these simple yet effective locks that will have you playing in tune for hours and hours. To prevent you from constantly having to retune, these small fish-shaped gadgets slot over your tuning rods to lock them in place and keep them from moving. 

This is a perfect accessory for drummers who tune low or are hard-hitting as it is guaranteed to relieve any annoyance of retuning during performance and practice. They can be quite awkward to get into place at first, but once this has been mastered they are an important tool in keeping you in tune!
