A drum kit (or "drum set" or "trap set" - the latter almost a moribund term) is a collection of drums, cymbals and other percussion instruments arranged for convenient playing by a sole percussionist (drummer), usually for jazz, rock, or other types of contemporary music. Such a kit has been an integral part of most popular music since the jazz of the 1920s until the arrival of synthesised and sequenced percussion (such as drum machines) replaced drums in some electronic music. Companies such as Simmons (in the 1980s), Yamaha, Roland and many others have created electronic drum-sets which use pads or triggers (mounted on acoustic drums) to play sampled or synthesized sounds. The trend in electronics since the late 1980s has been away from overtly electronic sounds and less towards an intensified acoustic sound.
The exact collection of components to a drum kit varies greatly according to musical style, personal preference, financial and transportation resources of the drummer. At a minimum a kit usually contains a bass drum sitting on the floor and played with a pedal, a snare drum on a stand, two or three tom-toms, some of which are mounted on top of the bass drum and the largest typically free-standing alongside it (on the floor - hence the word "floor tom"), a hi-hat (two small cymbals played by means of pedal) played with the left foot, a ride cymbal and a crash cymbal arranged on stands on the right and left. The drummer sits with the snare drum between his legs, his left foot on the hi-hat pedal and his right on the bass pedal. He will usually play with sticks, but may also use brushes, mallets, hands, or any of a variety of "multi-rod" sticks. www.wikpedia.org
