Is there a difference between jazz drums and drum sets?

There is no difference between a jazz drum and a drum set.

Drum set is a jazz drum, but it is called differently in some countries. Drum sets can not only play jazz, but also play rock music and other popular styles.

Drum sets are generally composed of a big drum, a small drum, two or four drums, one or two hanging cymbals and a pedal cymbal, and are played with a drum stick or brush.

There must be one drum, step cymbal and small drum, and there can be one hanging cymbal, but the two effects will be good, such as double cymbals. If the other two cymbals are left and right, it will be more flexible to use, and even the specifications and timbre of the two cymbals are different. The pitch of each drum is different.
