THE HISTORY OF DRUMSET
The modern drumset was not invented by one individual at one particular time or
place. It evolved during the early part of the 20th century, with contributions
by both musicians and instrument makers.
By the 1890's, drummers in New Orleans (and elsewhere) were adapting the drums
of the traditional military-style marching band to the stage, placing snare and
bass drums so that both could be played by one player. At the same time, New
Orleans musicians were developing a style of playing based on collective
improvisation, later known as Jazz.
In 1909, drummer and instrument maker William F. Ludwig produced the first
practical bass drum pedal. Although other mechanisms, controlled by foot or by
hand, had existed for some years, Ludwig's pedal allowed the bass drum to be
played more quickly and easily with the foot, freeing the player's hands to
concentrate on the snare drum and other instruments.

Early Snare Drum (Above) and Pedal (Right)
By 1920, a New Orleans drummer (such as Baby Dodds or Zutty Singleton) might be
playing a set consisting of bass drum (possibly with attached cymbal and
"clanger"), snare drum, Chinese tom-tom (with tacked-on heads), woodblock,
cowbells, and small Chinese cymbals. Similar sets (often with the addition of
sirens, whistles, birdcalls, air horns, etc.) were utilized by drummers
playing for Vaudeville revues, circuses, and other theatrical performances.
These were commonly referred to as "traps", a term generally thought to
derive from "contraption" (but possibly from "trappings",according to James
Blades in the Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments).
In the early part of the 1920's, the "snowshoe" or "Charleston" foot pedal was
making an appearance on the bandstand. This invention consisted of a hinged
pair of foot-sized boards with small cymbals attached. Around 1925 drummers
began using a "low boy" or "sock cymbal", a pair of small cymbals mounted on
a low, spring-equipped stand operated by the foot. Around 1927, the first "high
boys", or "high hat" cymbal stands appeared, enabling the drummer to play the
cymbals with either the foot or the hands,or a combination of both (as mastered
by drummers like Chick Webb and Jo Jones).
By the 1930's, the drumset generally included a bass drum, snare drum, one or
more tom-toms, Zildjian "Turkish" cymbals (larger and more resonant than
Chinese cymbals), cowbell and woodblock. Of course each drummer would
personalize the set with his own combination of "traps". Sonny Greer, for
example, played a set with such additions as tympani, vibraphone, chimes,
Chinese temple blocks and gongs.
Early Drumset
Throughout the 1930's and 1940's, drum manufacturers further refined and
developed components of the set to meet the requirements of popular drummers
such as Jo Jones and Gene Krupa, making larger tom-toms, "floor" toms,
sturdier drum-mounted cymbal stands, and faster bass drum pedals.
In the mid-1940's, the advent of bebop necessitated changes in drumming if not
in the drumset itself. The quicker, more fluid melodic and harmonic style
pioneered by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker was paralleled by the
development of a more melodic and independent rhythmic concept, exemplified by
the innovations of drummers like Kenny Clarke, Max Roach and Art Blakey. Bass
drums were a little smaller, cymbals a little larger, but the drumset of the
swing era remained essentially unchanged.
The drumset began growing again in the early 1950's with the addition of a
second bass drum by Louie Bellson and others.
In the late 50's, "Chick" Evans and Remo Belli each developed new plastic
drumheads, freeing drummers from the weather-sensitive quirks of calfskin.
To support (or compete with) the amplified guitar sound of the 60's, rock
drummers moved once again toward deeper and heavier drums. The trend toward
larger drumsets grew to outrageous proportions in the 70's as drummers added
more toms and cymbals than any human could possibly play.
