Best Answer

An average set is a 5 piece set: snare drum, bass drum, two toms, floor tom. For cymbals (not included in the number of pieces of a drum set in normal talk) The basics would be to get a crash cymbal, hi-hat cymbals, and a ride cymbal.

The drumset was born because of budget cuts in big bands. It made

no sense to have one person hit a ride cymbal, and one person hitting

the crash when the music indicated it, so the drumset was born!
Some of the earliest versions of drums were derived from shields. Most frame drums, come from early shields made from animal hides, while not very effective as a shield, they mad for excellent instruments!

On a related note: stringed instruments also come from a weapon ancestor, the Bow.
