Our Mission — Helping You Start Your Drumming Journey
At DrumEssentials, our mission is simple — to help beginners start their drumming journey with confidence, clarity, and rhythm. We know that taking your first steps into the world of drumming can feel overwhelming, with so many kits, brands, and accessories to choose from. That’s why we created DrumEssentials — a platform built to make drumming accessible, affordable, and fun for everyone.
Here, you’ll find clear advice, beginner-friendly guides, and honest recommendations that help you make smart decisions about your first drum setup.
We get it — starting out can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone!
About me
DrumEssentials is created and managed by Stijn, a 19-year-old student and passionate drummer from the Netherlands. With over ten years of drumming experience, I’ve played everything from small local gigs to school bands — and I know exactly how confusing it can be to start out. This website began as a school project, but quickly grew into a platform to help other beginners find the same excitement and confidence that drumming has given me.
What We Do
DrumEssentials is an affiliate website dedicated to connecting new drummers with the best gear on the market. Through detailed blogs, comparisons, and tutorials, we aim to simplify the process of choosing your first drum kit, accessories, or practice tools.
Our content covers everything from acoustic vs. electronic kits to product reviews, practice routines, and percussion instruments like the cajon or djembe. Every article is written with one goal in mind: to guide you step by step toward becoming a confident drummer.
Our goal is to save you hours of research and guide you toward reliable gear that fits your needs and budget!
Our Promise to You
Transparency and trust are at the core of what we do. As an affiliate website, we may earn a small commission when you buy through our links — but our recommendations are always honest, research-based, and focused on what’s best for beginners.
We only promote products that we would use ourselves or recommend to students who are starting out. Our goal is to help you avoid confusion, save money, and find joy in every beat you play.
We’re here to make your drumming journey easier, more enjoyable, and more affordable!
