How will my drums be delivered?

All starter drum kits are delivered in the smallest number of boxes. They will be packed inside one another and will need assembling. Starter kits are always delivered without the heads & hoops attached. This isn’t something to be intimidated by, it’s the basics of drum assembly, and is good practice to get a better understanding of your new kit! The heads will then need to be tightened and tuned. Using the drum key provided, rotate all the lugs clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen – simple! 

Once the drumheads are attached, you’re ready to set up! You may want to have a look at our set up guide or check out our unboxing video on YouTube. You can hear from the video that the stock heads on the kit sound great and the floor tom sounds lovely and full. Just make sure the stands are at the right height, and the kit is comfortable to play.

Brand

Gretsch

Gretsch is a legendary drum manufacturer with deep roots in American music history, known for producing drum kits with distinctive tone, classic styling, and strong character. The brand has long been associated with iconic recordings and drummers, particularly in jazz, rock, and roots-based music.

Gretsch drums are often described as warm, round, and musical, with shells and bearing edges designed to produce a focused yet open sound. This makes them especially popular for studio work, where clarity and balance are essential, but they are equally at home on stage. From vintage-inspired designs to modern professional kits, Gretsch maintains a clear sonic identity across its ranges.

In addition to drum kits, Gretsch also produces snares and hardware that reflect the same attention to tone and tradition. For drummers who value feel, heritage, and a sound that sits naturally in a mix, Gretsch remains one of the most recognisable and respected names in drumming.

Acoustic Drum Kits

Acoustic drum kits combine shells, mounts and supporting hardware into a playable setup for practice, rehearsal, recording or live performance. Compare the number and sizes of bass drums, toms and snare drums, along with shell material, bearing edges, finishes and included hardware. A shell pack may exclude stands, pedals, cymbals or throne, while a complete kit may include some or all of them. Check the exact configuration rather than assuming every photographed component is included. Size, tuning range, room space and the style of music should guide the choice.

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.
