When you bang a drum, the drumhead vibrates, creating compressions and rarefactions in the surrounding air. These vibrations travel through the air as sound waves. The movement of air particles generates pressure changes that our ears detect as sound. Thus, the drum essentially transforms mechanical energy from the strike into sound energy through the air.

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!
What were drums used for in World War 2?
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.
What is the history of the bongo drums?
Over the 700 year history of the snare drum, it is basically pretty much the same thing now as it was then. So what were the changes over these years? The biggest changes were:
- The snare on the bottom of the drum that gives it its unique sound changed from a single snare to a multi-snare.
- The drum hoops or rims are made of metal and are fastened to the shell with tension rods. It can be tuned to much higher pitches than possible in its early years.
- A snare release or throw-off was later introduced and also made adjustable.
- Snares can now be found in various materials such as woods, metals or acrylics.
- A vast range of drum heads are available.
