For a drum kit, there is a foot pedal with a beater that strikes the skin or head of the bass drum. In a marching situation, a stationary band or an orchestra, a beater is used by hand striking the head of the drum.

The Bass drum can be used by a kick pedle that hits the drum when putting pressure on the pedle, or it can be hit with a mallet.
