The drummer Chris Hunt, who also drummed for Bob Dylan and Van Morrison at different points of his career.

Unlike a lot of drums, the timpani produces a distinct pitch when hit by the timpani stick, and can be tuned, most of the time with a push of the pedal that sits at the bottom of the drum.

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!

Allies did not use drums in battle during World War 2. They did however use horns and drums during burial ceremonies and political ceremonies or for other military purposes. I could not find any references for the use of the drum by the axis powers however the Chinese and the Japanese did use cymbals for signals and alarms. The allies did use horns, whistles and clickers during operations for signals and identification purposes.

An interesting note about drums used in World War 2: The troops and sailors would used bongo drums, empty oil drums and anything else to create a beat when they entertained themselves. Some of the men had guitars and other wind instruments for personal entertainment. They would use drums and other instruments to entertain children of the Pacific Islands or in the European nations. They would even form choirs, duets, quartets, etc. to sing for officers and themselves or people they encountered. Some would play pianos in pubs and drum away on tables to entertain each other and the Brits or Scots, etc.

There are some You Tube videos of the World War 2 service men and women using the empty oil drums turned over or other things to beat on. There are some great acapella videos of them too.

DW for sure!

The direct translation of Djembefola is "one who gives the djembe voice". A djembefola is a djembe player - Not just any Djembe player, but one who is competent after having mastered different techniques and played in a variety of settings.

Tama and Ludwig then dw but i would love to find the exact details year sizes and finish and the wood of shells

A simple drum kit is composed of several basic elements. The drums include the Snare drum (The one with the wires under it), the toms (The drums with out the wires but are hit with a stick, including the mounted ones and the ones that are on the floor, which are floor toms), and the bass drum(s).

It depends largely on how it is tuned. A large drum will generally produce a lower sound, but this is because they are usually tuned to produce that pitch because smaller drum heads do not have enough surface area to create that low a pitch without becoming floppy. Likewise, a large drum head such as a floor tom can produce a higher pitch, but not as high as a very small drum like a piccolo snare.

It all depends on how a drum is made, and what it is made of. For example, a small steel drum is going to be loud and high pitched, while a large drum made of a soft wood such as birch is going to be low pitched and will give off less volume.

If a drum set is taken care of and looked after properly, it could survive us. Cymbals, skins, pedals, pads, etc will eventually degrade or wear out and will have to be replaced.

Steel Drums are an instrument invented in Trinidad and Tobago, where they are called steelpans. Initially used for calypso and world music, all styles of music can be played on the instruments, including jazz, classical, pop, etc.

The drums were initially made from old oil drums, and are of different lengths and contain notes on concave surfaces. When the notes are struck with a mallet different musical tones are produced.

Not if you're ordering a brand new set from the manufacturer. The drums and the cymbals are made by 2 separate companies. Maybe if you went on eBay or a similar auction site there would be a used set for sale that came with cymbals. Or if you were buying them from a music store you could order the cymbals at the same time as the set. But they still didn't come with the drums.

Luhd-Whig (Luhd as in 'LUck' and Whig as in the hairpiece)

According to popular lore, they evolved or rather were invented - from discarded Oil drums ( one group was even called the Esso Steel Band) in Jamaica and or Trinidad. Unconfirmed sources claimed the authorities imposed a ban on musical instruments- thus driving this underground devellpment. it is a little hokey. I can scarcely imagine any civilized government banning musical instruments= which after all are used in Church services, patriotic marches, parades, etc- such a ban would be Titanically difficult to enforce, Mahnn!/ Buit so the story goes. they , unlike traditional drums have been tuned by annealing and are used to play melody part, not merely rhythm. a sort of poor-man"s Vibraharp.

All Mapex Drums are made in China in a town called Tianjin, 2 hours south east of Beijing. They have been making Mapex drums for over 18 years and all the drums and hardware are made in their two factories: JMH - their die cast factory and JMD drum production, both based in Tianjin.

The bass kick drum in a full drumset utilizes a type of mallet. Tympani drums also use this.

YES..

Dave Simmons invented the electronic drumset.

The prices start around $300 and could go up quickly based on the brand and quality of the skin they use. In general, there are not many reviews available about the value for money of these musical instruments on the Internet.

Drums have been around for as long as anyone can remember. They were probably invented when the first person found that beating something to make sounds was intertaining.
