What are the characteristics of drum sets?

The appearance of drum sets makes music richer and fuller. Good drum arrangement can make music more infectious and powerful. In addition, the drum set itself can express musical instruments in the form of solo. As far as music is concerned, drum set is also an increasingly noticeable instrument.

Drum set consists of drums, cymbals, snares, drums and cymbals.

1, bass drum

Single hammerhead plays with right foot, double hammerhead plays with left and right feet alternately, and there are many pedaling methods such as a little pedaling method and pad pedaling method. It is the main low-frequency timbre in jazz drums, which is used to highlight the rhythm and incision.

When playing, it forms a basic rhythm framework with snares and cymbals, and different rhythms and frequencies can show different rhythm styles. It is the core part of jazz drum.

Step 2 step on the cymbals

Usually played with the left foot and right hand, and sometimes played alternately with the left hand and right hand. There are two main timbres in playing: open cymbals and closed cymbals. When cymbals are closed, they are mostly used for beat and decorative rhythm, and when cymbals are opened, they are mostly used for rendering and incision. It is widely used in almost all styles.

3. Tom drum

Play alternately with your left hand and your right hand. There are usually three or four high-pitched to low-pitched drums. Because the pitch is obvious, it is often used to match the pitch of other instruments, colorful parts or add melody to the rhythm.

4. Drum.

Usually left-handed When the content is complex and changeable, the left hand and the right hand play together or alternately during solo. There are many ways and positions of hitting the ball, mainly sideline hitting and flat hitting. Some drummers use their right hand as their common hand. As the most important medium-frequency timbre in jazz drums, it determines the style of the whole set of drums and has a very high frequency of use in playing.

5. Overlapping cymbals/Tintin cymbals (riding)

Usually played with the right hand, used to fix the beat and render the atmosphere. The sound of cymbals is crisp and the sound of cymbals is loud. It plays a very important role in jazz style performance.

6. Collision cymbals

The left and right hands play alternately, and when the playing stress renders a strong atmosphere, the edge of the cymbal is struck with a mallet, usually with a bass drum. When rendering a soft atmosphere, tap the cymbal surface with a hammer.

Musical instrument maintenance

1, make sure it is fixed.

Wipe all parts of the drum before loading. For example, sweat, water, beer or other liquids will shorten the life of the drum. The oil on your hands will corrode the surface of the wok and make it lose its luster. When assembling or disassembling the drum, you only need to wipe it with a towel, which can play a protective role.

Check all parts to make sure they are installed well. The cymbal gasket should be replaced frequently to ensure that the cymbal wire fixing the cymbal piece can be screwed on the cymbal frame well.

Places that need regular exercise, such as stepping on the pot rack and the mallet pedal, should be lubricated every once in a while to maintain a good state of exercise. If some springs make a harsh squeak, they should be replaced.

2, drum skin maintenance

Keep the drum surface elastic.

"Lower drum skin" can generally be used for a long time, but "upper drum skin" is not necessarily. If possible, it is suggested that the "upper drum skin" can be replaced frequently to maintain its elasticity and good feel. Often use worn-out drum skin, not only has no timbre, but also destroys the feel.
