Drumming Mechanics

I am Kaizuke, good at playing drums, I’m here to help beginners to improve or enhance their skills at drumming. Just an introduction about myself, when I was 2 – 3 years old I started dreaming of playing drums. With having that dream, I’ve enhanced myself and so far I can already play any kind of genre from classic songs to metal songs.

In this blog why don’t we define the parts of drums?

The basic parts of a drum set.

The Bass

The bass, a feat control and it is where the toms (which will I explain later) stand in. This bass is one of the main part of a drum set, it is a mandatory thing which gives the music how fast the song is (tune)

The Snare

Snare, also one of the main parts of a drum set. A hand control, usually it is placed in front of the drummer. By using snare and bass alone can already give us a beat and totally this two parts can already be played in a song.

The Toms

Normally in a drum set, it is composed of three toms, the high, mid, and low or floor toms. These toms can be differentiating from its tune. These toms are usually used to power the songs, free styles, rolling and to design a song as long as it suits the beat.

Hi Hat

Hi Hat is the one place at the side of the snare. It is also a type of cymbal that is used to give a rhythm for a song.

Ride Cymbal

Ride is the alternative of hi hat. The size of the ride is the biggest, used for designing the songs.

Crash Cymbal

Crash is used to power the song, it is used to power and synchronize your rolling. Crash can also be an alternative to hi hats.
