A drum set is a collection of percussion instruments designed to be played by a single drummer. It typically includes a bass drum, snare drum, tom-toms, hi-hat cymbals, and one or more crash and ride cymbals. The arrangement allows the drummer to create rhythm and dynamics in music across various genres. Drum sets come in different sizes and configurations, catering to different styles and preferences. They can be acoustic, made from wood and metal, or electronic, using digital sounds. A drummer plays the set using sticks or brushes, providing the backbone of many musical performances.
