Common Configurations
Drum kits are traditionally categorised by the number of drums, ignoring cymbals and other instruments. Snare, tom-tom and bass drums are always counted; Other drums such as octobans may or may not be counted.
When someone buys a drum set from any drum company they will be getting a preset configuration of drums. The sizes, color and main characteristics of the drum set will be already established. What this means is that people will only get to choose some options for a new drum set.
The sizes of drums and cymbals given below are typical. Many drummers differ slightly or radically from them. Where no size is given, it is because there is too much variety to call a typical size.
