Part of a drum kit includes a cymbal, SNARE, hi-hat, and tom-tom. A cymbal is a metal disc that produces a ringing sound when struck with a drumstick or mallet. A SNARE is a type of drum that produces a sharp, rattling sound when the snares are tightened against the bottom of the drumhead. A hi-hat is a pair of cymbals mounted on a stand and played with a foot pedal. The tom-tom is a cylindrical drum that produces a low, deep sound when struck. All of these components are essential to creating a full drum kit.
