Learn the parts of a kit

Drum set instrument names help drummers, students and shoppers identify each part of the kit with confidence. This category is useful for anyone learning the layout of an acoustic drum set or comparing replacement parts.

Clear labels for every component

Common drum set instrument names include bass drum, snare drum, toms, floor tom, hi-hats, crash cymbal and ride cymbal. Knowing these terms makes it easier to read product listings, follow lessons and discuss kit setups with other musicians.

Useful for beginners and parents

Drum set instrument names are especially helpful for new players, teachers and parents buying a first kit. Understanding the terminology also makes it simpler to check what is included in a shell pack, complete kit or hardware bundle.
