So first off, let's identify the main parts of a drum set.
- Snare - Probably the most important drum in a drum set. Produces a sharp, snapping sound.
- Left rack tom - Used mostly for fills. Usually tuned to produce the highest pitch.
- Right rack tom - Used mostly for fills. Usually tuned to produce a medium pitch.
- Floor tom - Used mostly for fills. Usually tuned to produce the lowest pitch.
- Bass kick - The lowest sounding drum, the bass kick is essential for that heart-pounding feel.
- Hi hat - Consisting of two cymbals, the hi-hat is the most important cymbal in a drum set.
- Crash Ride - Usually hit on bow, great for louder performances, accompanies a distorted guitar excellently
- Ride - Usually hit on the rim, good for softer playing.
