How do you play the frame drum?

Assuming the Kundu drum spoken of, is the Papua New Guinean one, the way you play it is to hold its handle in your non-dominant hand - left hand if you're right-handed, right hand if you're left-handed - and hit the drum skin with your bare hand.

You can get a variety of tones, depending on where you hit it, whether or not the drum skin has been prepared, and how hard you are hitting it.

Is the drums easy to play?

Drums are actually very hard to play. You do FOUR THINGS simultaneously..

i dont know the exact answer to this, but ive been playing drums for almost 4 years. The thing about drums is that, unlike most instruments, you only need one hand to make one note. Guitar you would need your strumming hand, and the hand on the neck of the guitar. Trumpet you only have to use one hand, but you have to change pitch with your lips. On drums, all the notes are litterally in front of you, and you only have 2 arms to move onto a set of drums, compared to 10 fingers and an array of lip movements. i hope that helped.

Most people think they are easy to play because at the root of the instrument it's just keeping a beat, kind of like tapping your toe to a song. Look up basic rock beat on youtube to see the easiest thing to play. It's learning how to have your 4 extremities do different things at the same time, totally out of your bodies natural rythym, that is hard. The better you get at that, the more you can CREATE a groove, rather than just keep a beat.

What elements are included in a standard drum set?

Five really, for the basic kit.

Bass, snare, hi-hat (orig. called the Charleston Pedal, apparently), ride cymbal, tom-tom.

That 5 will cover a lot of arrangements especially if you are inventive and proficient with the snare-drum and cymbal; but you can add extra tom-toms, cymbals of various sizes, a second bass-drum, wood-blocks, cow-bells and so on.

You can also use different "sticks" - the basic sticks with wood or plastic tips, brushes (used a lot in jazz and dance-band styles), and for special effects tympani beaters and slap-sticks.

Can you get extra add on drums and cymbals for the Yamaha DTX electric drum kit?

yes you can but it is quite expensive and is quite hard to find one that will fit your kit.

It also depends on the electric kit you have. If you purchased a standard kit then you will not likely have extra inputs on your drum module / machine, this would require upgrading your module or whole. Which is a better idea than upgrading your pads, as that would have no effect on your sound.

If you are talking about adding acoustic drums to your electric kit, it is probably better to add electric drums to your acoustic kit because you will have a fuller and more original sound.

Are shalimar cymbals a good brand?

I got given a pair of Shalimar hi hats. & a 22" ride..

the hi hats really don't work as hi hats , but they have a trashy white noise chaos about them that sounds more like a china.. so I use it for that.

the 22" ride is also quite dissonant , feels like a good lump of brass , has a good ping with a trashy white noise quality that the new trends of custom cymbals try to get.. I like it , dark , noisy , chaotic , it's just a sound , very useable. but not high end..
