Drum sets

When we think of rock 'n roll we invariably think of giant drum sets. We picture the crazed 70s drummer providing power to the band as well as a steady drumbeat. However, drum sets are used in a variety of settings.

Smaller drum sets are part of every jazz band. Gene Krupa made his drum solos famous during the big band era. Drum sets can also be used to provide colors and textures in small intimate jazz trios.

Drum sets can even be used in classical music. Electronic drum sets produce a variety of different sounds and are employed by modern composers. Drum sets can be found in percussion ensembles featured in modern orchestral concertos.
