What Are The Basic Components Of A Jazz Drum Set?

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.

What Is The Difference In A Jazz 4 Piece Drum Set And A 5 Piece?

When talking about “piece,” it is nothing else but the shells in a drum set. Therefore, do not think that cymbals and hardware are included in this.
And the pieces of a jazz drum set include a snare drum, bass drums, and toms.

The main difference between a four-piece and a five-piece jazz drum set is the number of toms. The four-piece has two toms (i.e., the bass drum, the snare, the floor tom, and a tom). And the five-piece drum set has three toms.

Also, more drums mean more sound possibilities, especially great fills. But it takes up more space.

A four-piece drum set is more suitable for jazz, where the ride cymbal takes the groove’s lead. It is also easier to transport.
