Let’s Learn About Drums
Drum Set Elements
Here are some basic terms related to drum sets.
Bass drum/Kick Pedal
Played with a kick pedal, it’s the largest drum in the kit.
Snare drum
The snare drum is the main “voice” of a drum kit.
Hi-hat/Hi-hat pedal
An acoustic hi-hat uses 2 cymbals mounted on a hi-hat
stand. Pressing the hi-hat pedal opens and closes it.
* TD-02KV (example) uses a single pad.
Tom (Tom 1, Tom 2)
These are usually mounted above the bass drum.
Floor tom (Tom 3)
Sometimes called a bass tom. It either stands on its own legs
or is mounted on a stand.
Ride cymbal
The ride cymbal is principle elements in keeping time.
Usually mounted on the right side of the drum kit.
Crash cymbal
Smaller than the ride, the crash cymbal is mainly used for
accents.
* In the TD-02KV (example), this is the same size as the
ride.
