Drum set

The dream of becoming a drummer
When I was just I kid, I have attended in many activities, such as piano classes, drawing classes, and countless summer camps. After entering junior high school, my parents always told me that as long as I got good grade, my future would be carefree. Therefore, I stop all the extracurricular activities. As a result, my teenage life is all about studying. However, now I look back to my life before, I can’t help but feel a little bit regret. Didn’t continue my drum kit class is the most regretful thing to me.
According to wikipedia, “A drum kit (or drum set or trap set) is a collection of drums, cymbals and sometimes other percussion instruments, such as a cowbell, wood block, chimes or tambourines, arranged for convenient playing by a single drummer.”
The following is a picture of the drum kit:
The biggest drum on the floor is bass drum. And the other four drums, from left to right are floor tom, toms, and snare. The one next to the snare is Hi-hat, which you can either pat it by hand or step on the peddle to make noises. The tallest two are crash cymbal and ride cymbal.Even though I am only a beginner, I have already decided to make up my mind to become a professional drummer. My parents complain that playing drum set is so noisy, but they can’t change my mind. I practiced one to two times, and take an one-hour class each week. My teacher said that as long as I’m willing to take efforts, fulfilling my dream is only a matter of time.
