Assignment #4 Instrument Study: Drum Kit

Hello, Bloggers. I am doing the drum kit for the study. The drum kit falls in the percussion. There are multiple parts of the drum kit, like cymbals, snare drum, toms floor toms, bass drum, and high hats. This instrument plays in the treble clef, the drum kit was invented in the 15th century, the crusades and crusaders invented it. This instrument ranges from high pitches that can be reached by the small cymbals called splashes and then low by the bass drum/floor tom. To make a sound with this instument you need to have drumsticks and then you simpily hit the drums with the bead of the sticks. you assemble this instrument by setting up stands and the legs on the drums, you should always keep the high hat clapped and the snare off the snaredrum.
