There are many types of drums and if you want to learn how to play the drums, you need to know what type of drums there are. If you look at a drum set, you’ll notice that there are a few different size and shapes in the drum set, here’s what they’re all about.

 

 

• Bass Drum
  This is the big drum on the ground, it’s called the “bass drum” because this drum makes a very low-pitched booming sound when struck by the mallet which is the weight at the end of the shaft attached to a foot-pedal. Normally the drummer hits this by pushing down with their right foot. Once you get a little more advanced you can even have two of these mallets, one for each foot, this is known as a “double-bass”. You’ll also notice that some drummers put a pillow inside this drum, this is for dampening the sound, Our music teacher will demonstrate this and give you the pros and cons of all these options.
• • Snare drum
    The snare drum is usually located on the left hand side of the drummer and is played with the non-dominant hand of the drummer. The snare drum has a crisp clicking sound with a resonating shuffle sound effect if it is struck directly on the skin.
