Drum Set
a drum set is a configuration of different sized drums, generally consisting of a snare drum, b-ss drum, and three toms.
there are two different set styles, the most common being the rock configuration. these have 12, 14, and 16 inch toms, usually a 22″ b-ss drum, 14″ snare, and 14″ hi-hats. the other set-up is the fusion configuration. the toms are 10, 12, and 14 inches, the b-ss drum is usually 18″, and hi-hats are generally 13 inches.
the rock configuration uses the bigger and deeper toms for a more full effect, a taller b-ss drum for a more “punchier” feel, and 14″ hi-hats for a controlled splash. some rock sets even have larger toms, so that there are 2 floor toms.
fusion sets, most commonly used for jazz, on the other hand, have smaller toms to create less of a punch, but the toms are only 2 inches apart from each other, so they are more uniform. the smaller b-ss drum and hi-hats are used for a controlled, responsive feel.
while drumming may just look like random smashing that takes no talent whatsoever, this is completely untrue. drumming is in fact a talent, as it takes great co-ordination to have all four of your limbs doing different actions at once. drummers also have to have great timing, since they are the driving force in a band’s backbone.
a drum set is a necessity to any band
