Before buying a new or a used Drum sets one should remember the points given:
1.Bass Drum: This instrument uses one head to be struck. The open side of the bass Drum allows the user to place a sound absorption blanket to kill lengthy resonation.
2.Support Rods: Four of these metal rods keep the Drum in place as it is hit by the mallet head on the end of the foot pedal.
3.Foot Pedal: This attaches to the floor side of the head-rim to allow the foot maximum flexibility of tempo and dynamics of soft and loud.
4.Snare Drum: This circular shell is 5 1/2 deep and 14 in diameter. It fits on a stand and sits between the knees of the seated player. It is encased by 2 skin or plastic heads secured by clamps and screw-bolt devices called lugs. The top head is struck with the Drum sticks or brushes. The bottom head has a 1 1/2 wide collection of adjustable parallel metal wires. These are the snares and can be loosened or tightened by a threaded bolt device call ed a strainer. These snares vibrate sympathetically when the top head is struck. They can be disabled using a trigger switch located on the side of the snare shell.
5.Sticks: Two round sticks 12 - 14 in length each with a small and a large end. The tip is the small end. The butt is the large end. The tip is used to produce sound more often than the butt.
6.Brushes: Six to eight inches of fan-shaped wires extend from the end of a storage tube. These produce a very light weight sound when used on the snare Drum or the cymbal.
7.Adjustable stool: The Drummer uses this for seating comfort and height adjustment. It's often called a throne.
8.Ride Cymbal: This can be as large as 19 in diameter and $260 in cost.
9.Crash Cymbal: This can be a 10 diameter cymbal and $160 in cost.
10.High Hat Cymbal: A floor-stand holds two horizontal cymbals that are brought together using a foot pedal.
11.Cymbal Stands: Most stands rest on the floor.
1 2.Toms: These are like a Drum without snares. A floor tom can be 14 in diameter and 14 deep. Two smaller toms are often attached to the top of the hoop-rim of the bass Drum. .
One must also take care of the following points before purchasing a Drum: 1. Avoid getting carried away by visions of soloistic flight.
2. A fancy demonstration of Percussion skill by a salesperson should not be the main reason for making a purchase.
3. Glitter, lacquer and external finish are the least important factors when purchasing a Drum set.
4. Learn to listen well to the sounds that are produced.
