Audio: Drum Kit

The drum kit is a set of percussion instruments (drums, cymbals, hi-hat) played by a single performer. The rhythmic foundation of jazz, rock, and pop music.

The drum kit was born in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century: a single performer gradually combined drums previously played by different people in military bands. The standard setup: bass drum (on a pedal), snare drum, tom-toms, hi-hat (two cymbals on a pedal), crash and ride cymbals.

Legendary drummers: Buddy Rich (jazz), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Neil Peart (Rush), Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd. On the Ukrainian rock scene the drum kit is an indispensable part of every band, from Vopli Vidopliasova to contemporary Boombox and Okean Elzy. The Kyiv school of jazz drummers (Vadym Yanchuk, Oleksiy Boholiub) sustains a strong educational tradition.
