Question

When was the drum kit or drum set invented?

Answer 1

The modern drum set, as we know it today, was invented during the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. However, its evolution can be traced back to various percussion instruments used in different cultures throughout history. The drum set as we recognize it today consists of a bass drum, snare drum, toms, cymbals, and other auxiliary percussion instruments, all played together by a single drummer.
