M123 Drum and Percussion Tech Tip
The traditional 4-piece drum set
The next drum setup in our crosshairs is the humble 4-piece kit. While a 4-piece set may not have the range of sounds available with some of the bigger kits, a lot of great music has been made on the traditional 4-piece drum set by players like Elvin Jones, Gene Krupa, Levon Helm, Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, and others. For the 4-piece drum kit, all you need is a snare drum, kick drum, rack tom, and floor tom. Usually the snare will measure 5" deep by 14" wide and will be matched with a 22" x 14" kick drum, a 12" x 8" or 13" x 9" rack tom, and a 16" x 16" floor tom. These sizes are a good starting point for you to help assemble your ideal 4-piece drum set as you figure out what's best for your music and your drumming style.
