When will the Black Friday electronic drum set deals land?

For 2022, the Black Friday electronic drum set deals will officially arrive on Friday November 25 - that's the day right after Thanksgiving and less than a month before Christmas Day. The deals will extend across that weekend (also know as Cyber Weekend), before finishing with a final flurry of Cyber Monday music deals on Monday 28 November.

Previous experience tells us that the deals won't be isolated to just this four day period though. Many of the best Black Friday electronic drum set deals will emerge in the weeks leading up to the big day itself, some as early as October. And if you miss out on Cyber Weekend, many deals stick around for a while after the event, too.

Deals are launched at all sorts of random times – sometimes in the middle of the night – so savvy shoppers will need to keep a close watch on their favourite stores to ensure they grab the bargains they're looking for. Some Black Friday e-kit deals may stick around for the whole of Cyber Weekend, while others may only be live for a matter of hours, or could be stock-limited. So, if you're looking for a bargain, you need to be ready to pull the trigger. We've got more on how you can prepare further down this page.

What Black Friday electronic drum set deals should I expect?

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the big music retailers throughout October and November. Based on last year's evidence, the Guitar Center Black Friday deals, Sweetwater Black Friday sales, and Musician's Friend Black Friday deals will be the places to find killer electronic drum set deals.

You may also find savings on products relating to electronic drumming, including drum triggers, electronic drum pads and electronic drum amps and monitors. Perhaps you want to trigger some alternative sounds to those that come loaded into your module? For that, you should keep an eye out for discounts on samples packs and VSTs like Superior Drummer 3.

If you need anything else drum-related, we also have a dedicated Black Friday drum deals page. 

In terms of the electronic drum set brands who consistently throw their hat into the Black Friday ring, Roland and Alesis are the top of the tree, with discounts to be found across almost their entire ranges. So, whether you want money off a budget kit like Roland's TD-07DMK, or you're hoping to score a chunky discount off a top-end Roland VAD kit, you should be in luck come Black Friday. 

For Alesis, there's always money to be saved on one of our favourite beginner electronic drum sets, the Alesis Nitro Mesh. Often these come bundled with extras such as an amp, sticks, a throne and and headphones.  

We always hold out hope to see money off Yamaha's awesome DTX series drums, particularly the new DTX 6 and 10 kits, however they don't often do e-kit discounts at this time of year, so this may be wishful thinking. Of course, you'll be first to hear about it if any deals like this do drop. 

Elsewhere, it's not uncommon to see big savings on budget brands including Donner, Carlsboro and Thomann's own brand Millenium. 

Black Friday electronic drum set deals: Discounts and coupons

The Black Friday electronic drum set deals aren't all about individual product discounts. Some retailers prefer to offer discounts overall on a range of product categories. Usually this comes in the form of a code that you enter at checkout to redeem your discount. 

To give you an example, last year Sweetwater was offering up to 70% off a range of drum gear and so much more from the big brands. Elsewhere, Guitar Center and Musician's Friend were both offering 15% off select products.

This is a great way to shop and can end up saving you more when you have multiple items you're looking to purchase.
