drums

A drum kit, drum set or (archaic) trap set is a collection of drums and other percussion instruments set up to be played by a single player A drum kit is normally played seated on a drum stool or throne. Most drummers extend their kits from this basic pattern, adding more drums, more cymbals, and many other instruments. In some styles of music particular extensions are normal, for example double bass drums in heavy metal music. On the other extreme but more rarely, some performers omit elements from even the basic setup, again particularly for particular styles of music.
