Drum Set

A drum set is a collection of drums, cymbals, and often other percussion instruments, and also arranged by a single person called drummer. The individual instruments of a drum set are hit by a variety of implements held in the hand, including sticks. Two notable exceptions include the bass drum played by a foot operated pedal, and hi-hat cymbals, which may be struck together using a foot pedal in addition to being played with sticks. Although other instruments can be played using pedal, the feet are usually occupied by the bass drum and hi-hat, and as a result the drummer often plays in a seated position. The Rev of Avenged Sevenfold used two bass drums as well as the drummer from Atreyu. Alex Van Halen has used four bass drums in the past.
Various music genres dictate the stylistically appropriate use of the drum kit’s set up. For example, in most forms of rock music, the bass drum, hi-hat and snare patterns tend to be more prevalent and the hi-hat is played by the foot. In the 200s, an increasing number of drummers have to begun to use electronic drum pads which trigger synthesized or sampled drum sounds.
