As a drummer progresses, so does their interest in customization. Take the snare drum, for example. With so many to choose from on today's market, more experienced players like to upgrade their current snare without changing anything else about their drum kit. This is where shell packs come in handy. Shell packs are about freedom, and with the massive amount of shell packs available from the top manufacturers in the business, you can have more than enough freedom to create a drum-set that's uniquely your own, and perfectly suited to your own specific style and tastes.

As pointed out, shell packs give you the choice of tailoring your kit. If you're happy with your current snare, choose a shell pack without one. If you're content with the floor tom you own now, purchase a shell pack with the floor tom excluded. In other words, shell packs are a great option for meticulous drummers, and there are more than enough options to satisfy any hard headed hitter. A quintessential shell pack for up and coming drummers, the 5-piece Z5 Series courtesy of Pacific Drums and Percussion, is a perfect choice for any beginner. Featuring fusion tom sizes and all-wood construction, it's the perfect starter kit, and an excellent example of a shell pack that perfectly balances affordability and quality craftsmanship. If you're looking for a shell pack that's studio-worthy and has a classic "session sound", the Pearl Session Studio Classic shell pack combines a centralized attack and progression with astounding lows and a forceful punch. Another outstanding entry-level pack is the Yamaha Gigmaker 5-Piece shell pack. This pack is superb for intermediate drummers who want the quality of a Yamaha kit, but without the beefy price. Every drummer wants to stand out from the pack.

Thankfully, shell packs give you the freedom to do just that. Customizing your kit is a fun and rewarding experience, and you can find more than enough shell pack options provided by the biggest drum brands in the world today. From DW to Pearl, these names are continually endorsed by the world's greatest drummers for a reason. So when you're ready to enter the exciting world of customization, you can be sure you'll find a shell pack to suit your exact needs.
