Jazz drum kits come with a smaller-sized bass drum, often 18'', this compact design is ideal for tightly-packed venues and clubs and also provides a wider tonal resonance thanks to its high tuning. Founded in New Orleans African-American communities, jazz drum kits complement the double bass amongst other instruments typically found in jazz bands.
Often set up as a four-piece, jazz kits are lightweight and easy to transport for on-the-road drummers. They are also usually set up with a slanted snare drum, this allows for easy playing with mallets and brushes for the classical jazz percussion sound.
The BDK-18 features 100-percent poplar shells, this wood provides an even balance of low and high frequencies, producing a sound that's warm in the lower frequencies and smoother in the higher register with a neutral midrange. The shells also ensure exceptional durability against the hardest of hitters, making the kit a great first choice for expressive drummers.
The jazz drum kit also comes with double-braced hardware which increases the shell's durability as double-braced hardware is a favourite amongst most drummers of all skill levels for its stability. With jazz playing styles and portability at the forefront of design, the BDK-18 accommodates players that are ready to take their drumming on the road.
The stunning gloss wrap finish of the BDK-18 truly sets this kit apart from others in the price range. Complementing the striking chrome hardware, it stands out in any environment and is sure to grab people's attention. With high attention to detail, the finish shimmers in any lighting, constantly enticing the drummer to pick up their sticks and master their skills.
At an extremely affordable price, the BDK-18 has everything you need to kick off your drumming career. It includes cymbals, drumsticks, drum skins, a drum key and even a comfortable drum stool right out of the box. Additionally, with a 14'' hi-hat and 16'' crash ride also included, you are well on your way to mastering your time-keeping and rhythmic skills.
