How did the drum kit evolve?

The standard drum kits used by bands today evolved from band pits at sporting events across Europe and the USA. Band pits became too small and drum players were given a snare drum and a bass drum, which was modified to work with a pedal. This already eliminated one person. Later hi-hats and cymbals were introduced to the setup. This setup evolved into quite a complex system of drums and cymbals and became a challenge to play. The drum kit/drum set was born. Eventually the drum kit was used in commercial music.
