Tech Dude: Your 6-Piece Drum Kit

M123 Drum and Percussion Tech Tip

A traditional 6-piece drum set

The traditional 6-piece drum kit is made up of a snare drum, kick drum, three rack toms, and a floor tom. The typical snare drum in this setup is a 5" x 14" and the kick drum a 22" x 14" unit, with one rack tom measuring 12" x 8", the other 13" x 9", and the third measuring 14" x 10". The sixth piece is a 16" x 16" floor tom. While this is the typical setup, obviously you can change any or all of the drums according to your preferences. In fact, there's one pretty common variant on the 6-piece setup used by rock drummers, with two rack toms and a bigger 18" x 16" floor tom.
