The backbone of any modern band is always the drummer. A band can function without a guitarist, a bassist, or even a singer, but without a drummer most modern music feels severely lacking. Originally used for communication rather than music, drums are the world’s oldest instrument, and their design has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Contemporary drum sets include bass or kick drums, toms, floor toms, a snare drum, high-hat cymbals, a ride cymbal and various crash cymbals. These pieces often are played with wooden drum sticks but also may be played with wire brushes or soft mallets. Truly, it takes a unique person to become a drummer. Because drummers are so vital, they are always welcomed into any band.

He introduces the basic ride and crash cymbals, but he also gives you ideas for adding specialty items to your set. Learn the different sounds of drum sticks and cymbal types and brands.
