So, whether you&#8217;re starting a new band or need to upgrade your current setup, it&#8217;s important to have the right gear.

Guitars with active pickups are best for metal, but any guitar can be used if you have the correct effects pedals.<\/li>\n<li>Basses: A bass is also essential for a metal band. Basses with active pickups work best, but any bass will do as long as it has a good tone and plenty of low-end response.<\/li>\n<li>A quality drum kit. A good drum kit is essential for any metal band. It should produce a powerful sound with lots of punch and resonance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16\" src=\"http:\/\/www.argentorecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/instruments-for-metal-band-1.jpg\" alt=\"rock band\" width=\"826\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.argentorecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/instruments-for-metal-band-1.jpg 826w, http:\/\/www.argentorecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/instruments-for-metal-band-1-300x166.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.argentorecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/instruments-for-metal-band-1-768x425.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>What are the most important parts of a rock band?<\/h2>\n<p>There is no one answer to this question, as the most important parts of a rock band vary depending on the band&#8217;s individual style and sound.
