It all depends on what you want to call a drum kit. So I guess it's anything with at least 2 percussion instruments of which at least 1 is a drum.

Some drum kits (if we're talking about non live players) have big drum kits on their harddrives. I personally like each of my kits to contain

10 kicks

10 snares

10 hi hats

10 open hi hats

Etc...

A basic kit is 5 drums, 1 Bass Drum, 1 Snare Drum, 2 Rack toms, and 1 floor tom, however more of any of these can be added, or some can be taken away.

Adding cymbals to the kit, a basic set-up for cymbals would be one crash cymbal, one ride cymbal, and one pair of hi-hat cymbals. Also available are China cymbals, and Splash Cymbals, again you can add or take away as you please.

Tom toms break into groups either mounted or floor. Mounted tom toms are set on a bracket or stand, floor tom toms normally are fitted with retractable legs to adjust the height. If a kit had 3 tom toms 2 mounted and a single floor tom tom, then they would be the tenor, mid, & bass tom toms

How many symbols are there on a standard drum kit?

It depends on what kind of "standard" kit you're talking about. Every drum company has their own idea of a 'standard' drum kit. So, I'm just going to assume you are talking about a basic beginners drum kit. So, to get to your question, a beginners drum kit usually has a hi-hat, which is two cymbals put together, one on top of the other. The standard hi-hat size is about 13 to 14 inches. Next, there is the Ride. The standard size for a ride is about 20 inches, however, I've seen rides range anywhere form 18 inches to 26 inches. And finally, there is the Crash. Standard Crash sizes are usually about 16 inches, however, I have seen crashes range anywhere form 14 inches to 20 inches. So, to answer your question in short, there are usually 4 cymbals in a beginner's drum kit (if you are counting the hi-hat as 2)Hope that helps!

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.
