The drum is the one of the oldest known musical instruments in the history of mankind—and its fundamental design has not changed for eons. Far from today’s uses as a percussive foundation for rock music, drumming has a more profound legacy. Drums have often been used as a method of communication over long distances, and the drum has figures largely in some religious ceremonies. The first drum was invented, perhaps, with the idea of mimicking the human heartbeat, yet today its music has developed into a technical, complex arrangement of beats and rhythms. A varied arrangement of small, medium and large drums and cymbals are arranged into kits, where a drummer can choose from a palette of sounds to lead or accompany any given song. These days, kit sizes vary from the simple to the outrageous, and styles run the gamut—but the drum is still very much the heartbeat of the music.
