Drum Definition From Wikipedia<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe drum is a member of the percussion group of musical instruments, which is technically classified as the membranophones.\u00a0 Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with the player\u2019s hands, or with a drum stick, to produce sound. There is usually a \u201cresonance head\u201d on the underside of the drum, these are usually tuned to a slightly lower pitch than the top drumhead. Other techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound, such as the thumb roll. Drums are the world\u2019s oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

History of The Drum<\/h2>\n

Drums have a rich history as a means of communication.\u00a0 This is evident as far back in 2500 years ago in Sri Lanka where talking drums where used with different pitches to imitate spoken language.\u00a0 Because of the projection capacity they could be used to communicate further than the human voice.\u00a0 For thousands of years drums have also been used in military applications to communicate over the sound of battle.<\/p>\n

This is evident as far back as 684BC to the war between Qi and Lu. \u00a0Drums\u00a0were also used to inspire troops and set marching cadence. \u00a0\u00a0It is also common both in the past and today, for drums to be used in ceremonies of both religious and secular context.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"The Modern Drum Set<\/h3>\n

Until the late 1800\u2019s,\u00a0Drums played for entertainment purposes, required different individuals for each drum, cymbal and percussion element.\u00a0 Originally large bass bands would only play outside for parades, fairs and other large town-sized events.<\/p>\n

As marching and big band performances moved indoors, space restrictions drove the\u00a0requirement\u00a0for a smaller band and subsequently drummers began to play more than one drum. \u00a0Once the drum pedal was invented it allowed for one drummer to play all percussion pieces including cymbals.\u00a0 The modern drum set was rocketed forward when in 1909 William F. Ludwig invented the first spring driven bass drum pedal and modernized the drum kit.\u00a0 Many drum historians consider this to be the true point when the modern drum set was born.<\/p>\n
