The Snare drum.. The metal is the snare.
A drum kit is individual drums, they are made up as a set.
A pillow is usually put into the bass drum(s) to deepen the sound they make.
it is made because the drums are hollow
timpani originated from military drums. they are the only type of drum that produce a deffinate different tone depending on the tightness of the "drumhead" or skin. it was originally made from plastic and calfskin but is now made from fibreglass and plastic..
When you hit the drum, the tightness of the drum head and the shape of the drum as well as what it is made out of play into how it will sound. Basically, all you are doing by hitting the drum is causing very rapid vibrations in the air, loud ones, and once they hit your ear drum they are translated by your brain as sound. Again, the different elements of the drum are what make the certain tones of the drum. For a snare drum, on the bottom head there are loose wires that pop back up after the air pressure in the cavity of the drum returns to normal which give it that "tap" sound when you play it. Hope this helps!
A drum kit that is very germy.

Although i don't know who made it. The first drum kit was made in New Orleans. it was built to play Jazz on.
You could, but they are pretty cheap. They are plastic, so a different sound may come out.
most drum kits are made from wood . and the head is made of a special plastic. you can get drums made from plastic aswell but wood is more popular.
