Drum Sets - A Primer

Buying complete drum sets allows drummers the most freedom. Although there are different types of sets, most people have found that the drum sets that offer the most freedom are those that have the most pieces with them. With each extra piece, there are a few extra sounds that can be used to create different styles of music.

For those who are interested in buying sets that have multiple pieces, here are some explanations of what you should expect from the different set pieces.

Bass drum - The bass is sometimes referred to as the kick since it is played by stepping on a pedal that then beats the head. This sits on the floor just in front of the drummer. It is usually the most prevalent sound in any set. While most of these come with heads on both sides, many drummers prefer to remove the head from the backside and place an object like a heavy sweatshirt or a pillow inside of it in order to muffle the sound. If the sound is not muffled, it could resonate too loudly and detract from the other music being played. Toms - Toms are usually small, circular and elevated to about the shoulder level of the drummer when he is sitting. Some drummers prefer to use these with bottom heads, but usually they are removed. Each tom is slightly different in size and shape in order to produce varying sounds when struck. These drums make a deep, round tone. The toms placed above the floor are referred to as "mounted toms." Sets can also be purchased that have toms that stand on their own feet. These are called "floor toms." Snare drum - In most sets, the snare is elevated off of the floor and rests between the knees of the drummer. Snares include heads on both the top as well as the bottom. Items called tension rods are used to hold the drums in place. The name snare comes from the fact that the bottom head features parallel, mounted strands that are referred to as snares. The snares are important to the operation of the drum because they work to help sound vibrate against the bottom of the head when the top of the head is struck. Cymbals - Some drum sets do not include cymbals, but those that do include them allow the drummer to branch out a little more musically than others who do not have them would be able to. The cymbals are able to add that extra little splash to the music being played. Many of sets include a ride cymbal, a crash cymbal, and a pair of hi-hats. These cymbals can be altered and loosened and tightened to change the sound produced from them.

The drummer who wants to be able to play a variety of types of music and try new things should buy sets that include all of these items.
