Drums

They used to really be made from skin--calfskin, goatskin, IIRC Ralph MacDonald used to play pelican skin. Here's some fun drumhead history for you: When Slingerland first made Radio King snares, they headed them with damp calfskin. They wanted the head to shrink to its final tension. This is great, except for when the damp head warped the shell as it dried. Today, most heads are made from Mylar. Marching heads are made from Kevlar. You can still get skin heads, but most of us play plastic heads.
The top of the drum, also called the head, is where the drummer hits the drum. Originally, it was made out of animal skin, but now they're almost exclusively made of some sort of plastic, usually one or several layers of mylar. Alternatively, marching drums sometimes use kevlar due to the tremendous amounts of pressure put on the drum heads by the high tuning

The biggest drum kit ever belongs to Mark Temperato (RevM). It contains 65 drums and 70 cymbals with over 500 pieces all together.

The best drum kit, however, all comes down to personal taste...

To make a Dubstep bassline you need music software that allows you to make complex LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulations, because LFOs are an important part of Dubstep Baselines. Most music software, however, doesn't let you create complex LFO waveforms. Evolvor, sound design application created by Percussa, can be used together with Ableton Live to draw your own LFO waveforms, and use this to control the parameters in your midi mapping. Check out the link below to read the blog post that describes step by step how to create a Dubstep Bassline with Evolvor and Ableton Live.

Batter head Batter head hoop Double-ended lugs Shell Snare-side head hoop Snare-side head Snare Throw-off Snare butt end Snare strainer Vent grommet The vent grommet normally secures the nameplate Very occasionally you'll see a snare drum on an isolation mount like you'd mount a tom, but that's normally done when someone plays piccolo snare.

there were invented round about the 1930's

Sabian B8 cymbals are of a higher quality. Zildjian Planet Z are made from brass, while Sabian B8 are made from bronze. There is no comparison between brass and bronze for cymbal quality. The more fair comparison would be between Zildjian Planet Z and Sabian Solar. Both are sheet cymbals made from brass. They are both decent quality for what they are, which is an entry level product. Any cymbals that are made from brass are made from brass for one reason and one reason only, and that is to hit the lowest possible price point. Brass is much better used for candle stick holders, rather than cymbals. It is very limited in its sonic possibilities.

I can't say for sure. I think the brand was Ludwig. I don't believe the info is posted on the Internet. But for sure, I know Eric used Ludwig during KISS.

To make it easier I have highlited the drums and did the best explaining I could. Most of this is for right handed drummers but for the left handed drummers do this but visa versa To set up a drum set, you have to first put the Bass Drum down in a comfortable spot for it will be the base of the drum set and the middle of your drum set ( It's the biggest drum). Then, you should put on both Tom Tom(s) (The smallest one unless you have two) they go in the to poles sticking out of the Bass Drum. The Tom Tom(s) should just slide right on because they have two large holes horizontally in each side. Next I would put down the Snare Drum (the one with beads strapped to the bottom of it). It goes on a stand with three legs and three arms. Now if you are right handed you put it down on the left side of the Bass Drum right next to it (horizontally) but sticking out about five inches forward. If you are left handed, visa versa. Then there's the Floor Tom. The Floor Tomgoes on you right just like the Snare Drum except the Floor Tom goes on the opposite side from the Snare Drum (its the second biggest drum) (Visa Versa for left handed). Now the symbols fall into place. To put in the HiHat you put it right next to the Snare Drum on the left side but still giving you enough room to hit the Snare Drum (Visa Versa if your left handed). Your Ride Symbolgoes on your right side (Visa Versa if your left handed) and it goes in the middle of Tom Tom Two and the Floor Tom. Then there's the Crash Symbol. The Crash Symbol goes on the left side right behind Tom Tom One and the Snare Drum (Visa Versa if your left handed. And finally the Medium Crash Symbol. It goes right behind Tom Tom One and Tom Tom Two (This cannot be Visa Versa'd)

dun duns are usually about as tall as a chair you would find in a primary or high school and are very heavy

yes... well kind of. Toms can have their pitch changed by tightening or loosening the drum head. ( the tighter it is, the higher the pitch. the looser it is, the deeper its pitch)

You can change the sound cymbals make by how hard you hit them, and were you hit them. for example if u hit the edge of a ride cymbal, its makes a low long lasting sound, but if u hit the top it makes a short, high pitched sounds. You can also change the sound of cymbals by turning them upside down, which affects how the echo.

I hope this helped!

further clarification: toms and cymbals are referred to as "unpitched percussion", while some other drums, like timpani, have a more exact pitch, and are called, therefore, pitched percussion.

what creates this distinction is how many overtones and how strong the overtones of the drum are. with a tom, for instance, there is no pitch that specifically is a "fundamental tone" but several clusters of tones ring out along the pitch spectrum, so that all you hear is its characteristic thud. it is technically "noise" and not "pitch". so, this is how you can have a relatively "low" or "high" tom, but you can't necessarily play a clear A440 tone from said drum.

Yes they are very very good drums. Particularly their snares. They make even kid sets. But their travel 4 and 5 piece sets are great professional sets.

As high as you can lift you can lift your wrist. I'm going to warn you - DO NOT LIFT YOUR ARMS TO STRIKE A DRUM. Unless of course you like muscle strains. If you do this - your arm will receive to shock through your arm and you will be hurting!

Pearl drum sets are a high quality and recommended by many drummers, but it's mostly up to the drummer to decide which sound he/ she want there drum set to sound like. but with the sound the skins also play a role. But if you want a top-end drum set you should probably go with pearl or ask the employee at the music store (where u are thinking of purchasing the drum set) what he/ she prefers.
