What is a Drum Kit?




Drum kits are arguably the most used percussion instruments in modern music. A drum set is formed by a few different percussion elements and went through many changes until it became established in the modern era, making it possible to add more elements over time, depending on favorite musical styles.
Drum kits are very complex instruments, consisting of several types of drums and accessories operated by a single person. This musician is called “drummer”. The components of the kit are placed in front of the drummer (who sits on a chair), or on their sides, in a standard structure that allows the simultaneous operation of up to four percussions.
Drummers use their hands and feet (soles) to operate the component instruments. The hands can hold sticks, brushes or operate barely, while the soles operate 2-3 or even more pedals.
Components of a drum kit:
·        drums (membranophone instruments)
·        two membranes - one of which is actuated and the other has a resonance role)
·        cymbals (metallic discs fixed on a stand and operated with sticks, by a pedal or even by hand)
·        various other instruments, according to the preference of the drummer and the type of music played.   If you are interested in purchasing a drum kit, or any musical instrument, you can research and buy used musical instruments online at economical prices.

Do Violins Come in Different Sizes?

Violins come in no less than eight different sizes, but none of them has anything to do with the actual size of the instrument. These sizes are as follows: 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 7/8. In fact, the full size violin is the 4/4 one, whereas the smallest instrument is the 1/16 one. Adults, teenagers and kids with ages between 10 and 12 can play full sized violins. At the same time, children typically use violins with smaller strings than the ones for adults, such as, for instance, the 1/2, which is usually paired with a 1/2 bow.
