There are four basic parts of a jazz drum set.
First, there is the kick drum, which is often called the bass drum. It sits on the floor and is played with the foot.
Then, there is the snare, which pairs with the kick to form the foundation of your kit. It is usually smaller and played with sticks.
Next is the floor tom. This is a wide, deep drum that rests on legs. The size of the drum determines its pitch. But it is generally very deep.
Last but not least is the rack toms, the mounted toms, or the tom-toms. They are slightly tuned differently from the other tom so that you have a high tom and a low tom.
