Gifts for drummers

Drummers break sticks faster than you can say "once more from the chorus", so a new pair is always welcome. They'll also be thrilled with new drumheads, a practice pad for quiet practice at home, a metronome or a comfy drum throne.

For a big gift under the tree, think cymbals, a bass drum pedal or even a whole kit: electronic drums, acoustic drums or kids' drum kits for little rhythm makers. You can also tap out a beat on a cajon, djembe or tambourine.
