Most percussion instruments have a certain sound, even the sound of drums. But generally speaking, the classification of percussion instruments is to see whether an instrument has a certain pitch. However, some percussion players determine the pitch of their drums before recording or performing special works.

Wipe the drum parts before loading. Such as sweat, water, beer or other liquids can shorten the drum life. The oil from the hands will corrode the surface of the cymbals and make them lose luster. When loading or disassembling drums, just wipe them with a towel, which can protect them. Check all parts to ensure that they are in good condition. It is necessary to replace the cymbal pad from time to time to ensure that the screws fixing the cymbal can be screwed on the cymbal frame well.

The cymbal rack and the pedal of the hammer should be lubricated at intervals to keep them in good motion. If some springs make a harsh "squeak" sound, replace them.
