" Hi! I'm Philip and I am going to teach you how to set up a drum set. Now I emptied my hardware bag onto the floor and here it is. I'm going to start from this side and tell you everything that this is. So these are the floor tom legs. And you put them onto the floor tom, which is the big drum that sits beside you on the right. It is a big drum and sits on the floor; that's why it is called the floor tom. You fasten each one of these legs to it so it can stand. This is a cymbal stand. It's actually called a boom stand. I will go over that more later. It's got an extra arm. This is my high hat stand, these two pieces, and I will explain to you why they are in two pieces. These two pieces is another cymbal stand, and there is another one of those, and I will explain to you why it is in two pieces later. This is my snare drum stand and this is my tom, my high tom holder and it has another cymbal boom arm attached to it, so it will hold another cymbal without buying another stand, which will save money. I will explain each one: why they are in different places, why they are in different pieces and why everything is the way it is right here. I am going to start that in the next video, so there it is.

First of all, thank you for all that you do for music. I noticed you have some great lessons here. I just launched a new social space called MusicianMatch.com for musicians, bands, fans, and music industry professionals. Would you please consider creating a FREE Music Industry Professional (MIP) profile and upload your videos to advertise/offer/sell your services to our members? On MusicianMatch.com, we have some great, young, raw talent that will need some direction from someone with your skills.
Of course, you can also register a second musician profile (or just use the MIP profile for everything) and network with our musicians to make music and/or enter our Best Internet Musician contest for up to $500 in Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals, Keys/Piano, and Turntables.
