A typical rock band drum set includes 7 main components that each produce distinct sounds. The deepest sound comes from the bass drum, played with a foot pedal. The snare drum and floor toms provide deep and tight tones respectively and rest on stands behind the bass drum. Drummers also have a set of tom toms of varying sizes and cymbals, including high-hats, ride cymbals, and crash cymbals that are used to accentuate different parts of the music.

Set
 A drum set in a rock band typically includes up to seven basic components
, each with a different type of sound. The deepest sound comes from the
bass drum, the largest individual part of a drum set. This drum typically rests
on the floor and uses a foot pedal to produce its sound. The snare drum
and floor toms rest on stands behind the bass drum. The floor toms also
produce a deep tone while the snare makes a tighter tone and, as one of
the cornerstones of the drum kit, can provide a steady backbeat

 Drummers typically also have a set of tom toms and a set of cymbals. The
tom toms range in depth of tone by size, the larger providing the deeper
sounds. The high-hat cymbal provides an accent that is quieter than the
ride or crash cymbals. A drummer will typically chose the crash cymbal to
punctuate the music and accentuate a particular part in the music while
the ride cymbals serve to accentuate the beat when louder melodic or
chord instruments have taken the lead.
