Drum Kit (Standard 5-Piece)
The heartbeat of rock and roll/Musical Instruments
A standard 5-piece drum kit consists of a bass drum, snare drum, two mounted toms, a floor tom, a hi-hat, and a ride cymbal. The bass drum is the largest piece at about 56 cm in diameter. A full kit with hardware and cymbals weighs roughly 30-45 kg. Drummers are technically playing four independent rhythms simultaneously with all four limbs.
