listen to the blues artist you like, try to figure out what they are doing. go to type in “blues drumming lessons” this should get you started. I think the bluesy sound your looking for is in your approach not in the drum set itself.
umm, nothing. blues generally uses a standard drum set.
There really is no such thing as a blues sounding drum set. There is a blues style of drumming, but there is no particular blues sound for drums at all, unlike with guitar.
Blues kits are pretty much standard kits but I suggest, if you want a bluesy sound, try getting a fat-sounding snare. A deep, resounding snare, rather than a tight, high-pitched one would be best. And use sticks with big tips to get a fat bluesy sound.
