How is bass drum played?
There are three ways, depending on what kind of bass drum you have. A marching bass drum is on a harness that suspends the instrument from the drummer's shoulders. He (usually it's a guy that plays the bass drum because it's heavy, but ladies can play it too) plays the drum with two padded beaters, striking the heads in an arcing motion. A concert bass drum sits on a stand in front of the drummer. There's usually a cymbal on top of it. You play the concert bass drum with one beater, and the cymbal with a drumstick. A drumset bass drum is played with a pedal that has a beater on it. A drumset bass is a lot deeper (more space between the two heads) than the other two drums, and a lot of them have either a hole in the resonant (front) head or no resonant head at all.
