The drum is the oldest known musical instrument in the history of man and its basic design has not changed in thousands of years. Far from today’s uses as a percussive foundation for pop music or for fueling marching band excitement, drumming has a more profound history as a method of communication, and the drum as an implement of religious symbolism. The drum was perhaps first created from the primal idea of mimicking the human heartbeat, yet today its music has developed into a technical, complex arrangement of beats and grooves. Different sized drums and cymbals are arranged into kits, where a drummer can pick from a variety of sounds to lead or accompany a particular song. Kit sizes vary from the simple to the outrageous.
In this free video clip series not only will you learn all about the different hardware, drum and cymbal options you have as a drummer but you will also learn how to set it all up and put it together as one large kit. Our expert, Shaun Schaefer, will take you through every piece of the drum set and explain every detail as we get you ready to rock!
