Drums

I'm not really sure I understand this question, but I'll try my best.

When determining how many pieces of a drumset, the cymbals are not included. Ever. Cymbals are extra and are not included in the "pieces" of a drumet, as only the actually drums are counted. A drumset with three toms, a snare drum, a bass drums, hi-hat, crash, ride and splash is a five piece drum set because it has three toms, one bass and on snare. 3+1+1=5. if you took the same drumset and added one bass, two toms, two crashes and a splash, it would still only be an eight piece set. 5 (toms) + 2 (basses) +1 (snare) = eight (drums).

I'm not sure if this answers your question or not, but I hope it sets you in the right direction.

Also called steel pans, the "pan" is made of a steel that can be hardened, it is hammered into shape having local raised areas and depressions. the steel is hardened and the bumps will resonate when struck with rubber hammers making the sound. Different size bumps resonate at different frequencies giving method of tuning the areas of the pan.

it is made because the drums are hollow

the cool and nomable kind;)

There are (4) The Conga @ 11-3/4"dia. The Quinto @ 11"dia. The Tumba @ 12-1/2"dia. and with only a few manufactures The Requinto @ 9-3/4"dia., The common height for all drums is 28"-30". the drum stands are designed for standing or sitting.

In a car accident. The seatbelt lopped his arm off at the shoulder, and the doctors tried to reattach it but it got infected and had to be taken off again. The band, to their huge credit, never even thought about replacing him This last part is not entirely accurate. During the Hysteria tour, the band had a back-up drummer play with Rick Allen even though he had spent time learning to play without the use of his left arm. According to the band, one show when the back-up had arrived late due to a delayed flight, he essentially said to Rick "Looks like you don't really need me anymore."

The drum major originates from the Drum Corps of 1650 in the British Army. The drum major's job was to defend the drummers and bugle players because the drums and bugles were communication devices back then. The Drum Corps were not like a usual military band because they were in the infantry battalion.

The Tama Drum Corporation originated in Japan in 1974.

The steel drum as it exists today was invented in Trinidad during World War II when Ellie Mannette stole an empty 55-gallon oil drum from the U.S. Navy yard where he worked, hammered the top into a hemispherical shape (which he called the pan) and created pitched areas in the pan.

Drums can be played in any genre if you ask me. I'm sure certain styles of music

were made with the drums being out of mind like "bluegrass" which has no drums.

But you are the drummer so you can be as creative as you want to be or as creative

as you will allow yourself to be.

But here is a list of styles that modern drummers play in: Blues, Contemperary,

Country, Funk, Fusion, Metal, Latin, Jazz, Pop, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Techno, and

many more you can find on "drumstyles.com".

I hope this helps you out.

Well if you are talking about drum set drums, each drum (snare,toms, kickdrum) all have the same basic components. There are the lugs, batter and resonate heads, two rims, the body(thats what I call it). Thats pretty much it.

it is a double ended Philippine drum mounted horizontally on a stand. The body is traditionally the bottom section of a palm tree and the heads are of deerskin.

The snare drum came from '''percussion''' family!

There are many percussion instruments that can be used in the symphony orchestra, but the most common are timpani, bass drum and cymbals, also the triangle.

From top to bottom:

The heads: Modern heads are usually made from plastic. Marching drum heads can be made from Kevlar, but heads on drums played indoors are polyester. Older drums had heads made of calfskin, and you can still get skin heads.

Head hoops and tuning lugs: Metal, usually. Some hoops are wood, and some drums are "rope tuned"--a rope holds the hoops on, and you tune the drum by adjusting the rope's tension.

Shells: Normally wood. Some snares are metal. There are also plexiglass drum shells, like the Ludwig Vistalite. The two most popular woods are maple and birch.

Snare strainers on snare drums: Either wire or catgut.

Miscellaneous: Drum Workshop sells a special pillow to put in a bass drum to change its sound; it's just a regular pillow.

This sound be fun haha! Lets see...

I prob missedd some, so forgive me!

in my opinion, Mapex, Pearl, or Tama would be a much better bet. millennium and dxp are both off brands. if you need a less expensive drumset, check brands on guitarcenter.com. any brand they have should listed will be better than other obscure brands.

With decades of experience in drumming, I find the answer to drum sounds to be associated with the wood chosen to manufacture the drum as well as the methods used to cut the bearing edges, therefore the question is not a easily answered as simply picking a manufacturer. The answer is more related to the sound one wishes to produce with the drum

If one is looking for muffled but hollow log sound without much tonal effect, the drum manufacturer does not matter all that much, about anything will suffice

If one is looking for a jazz tone the the wood used to manufacture the drums is best if its maple, however Maple usually falls short on volume

If one is looking for projection of the sound with volume and tone then other woods such as birch and oak will provide that type of sound

Metal drums provide a very distinct crack sound like that of a whip, which is why they are often associated with Snare drum design. Its not uncommon for a snare drum to be different than other kit drums as a snare must provide the distinctive sound one desires.

The shell ply has a lot to do with resonance, thin shells tend to resonate more while thick shells resonate less but project more

Smaller drums provide higher pitches and add tone and color to the overall sound

The more tuning lugs there are on a drum the more even a head can be tuned the less lugs on a drum the less control over even tension there is. Usually smaller drums will have less lugs than larger drums and less expensive drums with have less lugs than expensive drums (contain the costs)

Finally there are the plethora of heads on the market today which can change the sound of a drum entirely. There are clear, coated, dotted, hydraulic, muffled etc. and variations within those groups so the choices can be mind boggling with heads ... Coated Ambassador is a good starting point

Cymbals are yet another different arena themselves but rest assured that the Sabian B8 20in ride is the mainstay of most kits in use today. After that crash, splash cymbals, high hats cymbals, and special effects cymbals, are a matter of personal preference and financial capability.

Therefore many things need to be considered when deciding on drums, especially kits. Its best to get the sound you are looking for initially as opposed to purchasing 2 or even 3 sets of drums as a progression toward finding that sound.

Don't be afraid of used drums as most are quite durable and can survive road use for decades while still holding their sound.

The S.O.S. Band never ever had a female drummer! You can take that to the bank! Nowadays they are still playing - real artists real music!

The S.O.S. Band does indeed have a female drummer. Her name is Crystal Martin.

CB Drums

Actually they started out as Pearl Drum company's entree into the American drum market. They were originally marketed as "house" brands for west-coast music stores. There are many different versions about them but "Carl Bruno" had something to do with them.

you just gotta have those ba drums.

Buddy Rich was supposedly a child prodigy. His first and main influence into the world of drumming was his father, who noticed that Buddy could keep perfect time while banging a spoon at the age of one. I guess you could say that is how he became a drummer, natural talent and his father's direction.

The cymbals can be made out of a few different type of metals. Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Meinl, and others use brass, and bronze, with different copper to tin ratios of different types of bronze. The main metal used for cymbal making is bronze. Cymbal companies will typically use brass for absolute beginner cymbals because it has a harsher tone than the bronze.
