History of Musical Instruments Drum

Drum kit that was first developed for space and financial considerations in theaters where drummers are encouraged to cover the percussion section as much as possible. Until then, drums and cymbals played separately in military and orchestral music settings. Initially, drummers played the bass and snare drums by hand, then in the 1890s they started experimenting with footpedals to play the bass drum. William Ludwig made the bass drum pedal system workable in 1909, paving the way for the modern drum.

By World War I drum kits were characterized by very large marching bass drums and many percussion items suspended on and around it, and they became a central part of jazz music. Hi-hat stand appeared around 1926. Metal consoles were developed to hold Chinese tom-toms, with swing out stands for snare drums and cymbals. On top of the console is a "tool" (shortened to "trap") tray used to hold whistles, klaxons, and cowbells, thus drum kits were dubbed "trap kits."

In the 1930s, Ben Duncan and others popularized streamlined trap kits leading to a basic four piece drum standard: bass, snare, tom-tom, and floor tom. In his time fitted to larger floor toms, and "consolettes" which is designed to hold smaller tom-toms on the bass drum. In the 1940s, Louie Bellson pioneered use of two bass drums, or the double bass drum. The first drummer Gene Krupa himself to lead the orchestra and thrust the drums into the spot light with his drum solos, others will soon follow the lead. With the influence of rock and roll, a watershed moment occurred between 1962 and 1964, when the Surfaris released "Wipe Out" and when Ringo Starr of The Beatles played a Ludwig kit on American television; events that motivated legions to take drum.

The trend toward large drum kits in Rock music began in the 1960s and gained momentum in the 1970s. In the 1980s, a very popular drummers like Billy Cobham, Carl Palmer, Nicko McBrain, Phil Collins, Stewart Copeland and perhaps most notably Neil Peart were using large amounts of drums and cymbals and also began using electronic drums. In the 1990s and 2000s, many drummers in popular music have reverted back to basic four piece drum standards.
