2023 XMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR THE DRUMMERS AND THOSE WITH A DRUMMER IN THEIR LIFE

Hello ho ho ho everyone, &thx for watching my "2023 Gift Guide For Drummers, & Those With A Drummer In Their Life". If you have watched the vid you know the following description includes Sweetwater links to make shopping for these gifts a breeze. Shopping via these links helps to support my YT channel. If no links, I will include links to product sites if the gift is not available at Sweetwater.

Now before we get into the list I want to recommend what I consider to be the BEST GIFT EVER for a drummer: A Gift Card to https://www.kennysharretts.com At Kennysharretts.com the drummer in your life can learn to get the drum sound they want every time they tune. Stream step-by-step tuning lessons, study a blog or book a 1 on 1 online drum tuning lesson with me Kenny Sharretts.

Now for the first gift suggestion: An oh-so-wooly drum case from Ahead Armor Case such as this 14” x 5.5” snare case, https://sweetwater.sjv.io/21LNxa
or this oh sooooo useful “Accessory Case with 2 side pouches”.
https://bigbangdist.com/product/ahead...
With its dividable sections, his bag is useful for holding all kinds of stuff, but I use it for your percussion accessories.

Like my awesome Soft Shake. In the era of acoustic gigs, drummers can always use a shaker. Like this LP Black Soft Shake Soft for studio which is compact, easy to use while drumming, & fits easily into your stick/cymbal bag.

or a gourd shaker from   / apanamudra  

Now as far as Cowbells go for the non drummer please note that IN GENERAL Rock Drummers “usually” want a bell like this LP Ridge Rider
https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DKZgR5
from Latin Percussion It has an added plastic ridge so they can shred licks not sticks. For jazzier players, a classic LP Black Beauty is never an unwelcome site. https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AW1N4a

Speaking of percussion sounds, another great gift idea that also fit’s into a stocking is the Gruv—X X-Click “Extreme” Cross Stick Accessory. This gives you a thicker click from your stick.

Now if I’m going to talk about “things for sticks”, I gotta mention Stick Bags and Stick Holders such as this super compact Danmar/Tackle Jazz Stick Case which is the ultimate stick case for rehearsals, & 1 nighters.
https://bigbangdist.com/product/jazz-...
Or the “Tackle Modular Stick Case" which splits into 2 mounting stations from one case. Check out the selection of Tackle Case at Sweetwater https://sweetwater.sjv.io/4PxN43

Or one of my fave gift ideas which is a custom Wicked Stick Holders from Danmar. I had a handful of these made for the last Dead & Co. tour for our backline team. Even if you get one of the stock models available in 6 different colors this is a killer gift that all drummers will love.

Or perhaps a pair of your favorite drummer's favorite sticks OR maybe something new like these
Pro Mark Bob Gatzens https://sweetwater.sjv.io/OrZbYP
Wincent stick company 5Bs https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AW1NDR
Ahead Hybrid Studio which has the feel of a 5A, but the beef of a 5B.
https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmvL1P

Another great gift idea for your fave drummer is a brand new bass drum beater that creates a new sound. For example
Wood beater from Danmar: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmvLJn
Ahead Square Felt/Rubber beater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/g1qzqX
The Hard Leather Beater from Dragonfly Percussion.
https://sweetwater.sjv.io/nLkXyM

Another great gift that fits in a stocking is the family of Zippered Accessory Cases, and Gig Pouches from https://tackleinstrument.com/

Or some tools that have become essential to my work as a drum tech. The Drummers Grip( a compact, lightweight wing nut tool)
The Ahead Drum Tool w/ a lug wrench, an assortment of screwdrivers, & hex keys geared for drummers.
https://bigbangdist.com/?s=Ahead+Drum...

Another product I'm shouting out is a set of Tone Wings. I demoed these at the Music City Drum Show and was impressed by the tone control, and heft of tone they bring to a drum shell.

Finally, the last gift I recommend is Zildjian 400th Anniversary Gear such as the Rock T in the vid https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrGLkZ
Black Alchemy Snap Back Hats: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AW1N9N
Black Alchemy T: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/B0VMrW
Blue Jazz T: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xkjGWy
Black Armenian T: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/EKgNmQ
