Are pearl export series drums rubbish?
they're quite good actually.nowadays there are different degrees of quality amongst that particular model.
avoid any drums made of "hardwood".
quality drums are made from Birch or Maple.
older 80's exports are good sets.all you need is some good heads.
Maple and birch ARE hardwood! It really depends what sound you want. I use a Pearl forum kit with poplar for both live and recording and love it.My brother uses a dW maple kit and loves it.The secrete is in the proper tuning and finding the best heads to get the sound you want. Also how the shell is made makes a big difference. But the wood type is all in the ear of the beholder.
BTW Export drums are very good quality and durable.
How is a drums flooor tom supose to sound?
The tuning of one's own drum set is completely by personal preference. I could tell you a specific pitch to tune it to, but that is only ONE way to tune a floor tom. I personally tune my snare to a B flat, my highest tom to an F, my second tom to a D, and my floor tom to a B flat an octave below my snare. However, I suggest you play around with your floor tom and a drum key and see what sound you like best. Avoid it being so low that it sounds "flubby" or "tubby"...and, on the flip side, you don't want it to sound too high and blend in with your other toms. The purpose of a floor tom is to support the bass drum.
Why do common drums contain 55 gallons and not 50 or 60?
UNTIL a drum designer or expert improves this answer, I offer an opinion. I think that drums of all nominal sizes are designed to allow for a "headspace," which is an air space above the contents, to allow for thermal expansion of the contents.

What date was the donno drum invented?
The Talking Drum (Donno Drum) is used for musical performances and signaling or sending messages. Due to the fact that each tribe has its own language, it was difficult for the tribes to communicate verbally. The drum itself crossed language barriers and served as a common language. The drum, when hit a certain way, gives off a sound that resembles speech. That is why it is called the "Talking Drum". By using the drum, messages could be sent to far off distances.

Who had the largest drum kit in a rock band?
Michael Portnoy's "Mirage Monster" is a 20-piece kit.
A few guys had really large kits--Neil Peart, Joey Jordison and John Dolmayan come to mind--but Portnoy's is the king. At least one of Portnoy's kits was designed so that two players could play it at the same time--this for drum duets during Dream Theater shows.
Now, if you'd included players who weren't in any one band, Terry Bozzio's got probably the biggest kit going--the "SS Bozzio."
-If I'm not mistaken, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has a Guinness Book of World Records entry for playing the largest drum kit consisting of 308 pieces.
Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa et al) presently tours with this kit. Not sure how big, but daunting to say the least. 21 foot pedals help run this monster
