2. You can adjust the drum kit stands to ensure that you are comfortable whilst playing, we all will find various techniques more comfortable than others so having the option to adjust the drum kit to suit our height will make practice much more convenient.


Different Drum Parts:

 

Drums have a lot of elements that can be included, however there are basic elements that are mostly seen on the set.

 

  • Cymbals: There are as several types of cymbals as there are ways to make them. And from bell cymbals to swish cymbals, opinions are just as varied. Most have a crash, ride and hi-hat on their set. After a while, pros will begin to add different types of splash cymbals, China cymbals and swish cymbals.

  • Crash Cymbal: It's an effective way to highlight a break in a song. Crash cymbals usually have thin edges that help them make a loud, explosive "crash" sound. Usually used at intense moments because they are loud, these cymbals are usually used for accenting important parts of a musical phrase.

  • Ride Cymbal: Typically located above the floor tom, is often the biggest cymbal in a typical beginner drum-kit (but not always), and in a right-handed kit is generally placed on the right above the floor tom. This cymbal makes a continuous, shimmering sound that complements other instruments without overpowering them.

  • Snare: The snare drum is the rhythm of your kits beat. Its unique cracking sound is created by the wires that are stretched across the resonant head.

  • Bass: Also known as kick drum, because it produces kick sound, the bass is the heartbeat. You will be building your kit around your bass and snare.

  • Tom-toms: Tom toms are placed at the top of the bass drum or attached to it. They come in many sizes and have heads on both ends to produce different tones.

  • Floor Tom: Most drum sets have only one-floor tom, located by the drummer's dominant hand that this tom will almost certainly be the lowest in pitch, but it isn't an absolutely essential part of a trap setup. This floor tom is a bit larger than the others. Floor toms stand on the floor and facing upwards that makes sounds as deeper than the other toms, but it is not as deep as the bass drums.

  • Hi-hat: It has the multipurpose sound on the set. Hi-hats are the ones that create the 'hissing' sound. They consist of a set of cymbals, placed one on top of the other on a stand. A pedal is attached to the stand so that the cymbals may be played opened or closed, or with the foot alone for a very short sound.
