Acoustic drum kits

An acoustic drum kit is one of the main instruments in modern rock and jazz bands. The history of the drum set dates back to the heyday of jazz in the early 20th century. It was then that drummers began to equip their "work" places on the stage with more and more drums, cymbals and all kinds of percussion. The fact is that the developing dance music demanded more and more virtuosity and rhythm. She could no longer be satisfied with a simple rhythmic pattern performed on one or at most two drums.

A major breakthrough at that time was the invention of William Ludwig in 1909. He invented a pedal based on a spring. This pedal helped the drummer use the bass drum more efficiently. After hitting the membrane with a mallet, it returned to its original state, giving the musicians more freedom. The fact is that before this invention, drummers had to practically manually return the beater to its original state. The modern classic acoustic drum kit consists of the aforementioned bass drum, snare drum , floor Tom-Tom, two suspended Tom-Toms and a set of cymbals . A standard set of cymbals includes Hi-Hat, Ride and Crash. It's hard to imagine a modern rock band without such a drum kit. After all, it is rhythm that has always been the basis of any musical genre. Harmony is strung on it, like a skeleton, like a circulatory system. And only then, like meat, the arrangement is put in.
