This is a collection of the best drum kit - drum sets, electronic kits, snare drums, cymbals and sticks - that wouldn’t look out of place in the hands of today’s top professional drummers.

Collated from Rhythm Magazine’s gruelling review process, buyers’ guides and MusicRadar’s own best-of-the-best drum round ups: 10 best drum kits, 10 best snare drums and the 7 best cymbals your money can buy.

We’ll kick-off with the best high-end electronic drum kit: Roland TD-20K…

MusicRadar’s verdict

"The King of the Mountain – fearsomely expensive but ridiculously capable, every drummer should try a TD-20K at least once in their lives. Wonderfully ergonomic, fabulous to play and with almost infi nite tweakability, it's no surprise that the TD-20K is the pro's choice, from Omar Hakim to DragonForce's Dave Mackintosh."
