The three most common types of drum sets of

drum sets symbols are the ride symbol, the crash symbol, and the high hat.

The ride is the biggest one.

You play that with a steady rhythm to ride the beat.

The crash is smaller.

You hit it for accents.

You know, it crashes.

The high hat is actually two symbols that you open and close with your foot.

If I could only have one, I'd go with a high hat, but that's just me.

Let's ask the horns what they think. The And the Welcome to Strong Songs, a Podcasts, about Music. My name is Kirk Kirk Hamilton and as always I'm so glad

that you join me to talk about ride symbols and crash symbols, high hats,

splash symbols, China symbols, and all the other things that drummers love to hit with

sticks. We've got a jam-packed Q&A episode coming up and I'm

excited to get into some of the many questions that all of you have sent in.

So find your favorite listening spot, turn up the volume, and enjoy this show.

Over the course of this year, I have been refurbishing my dad's old drum set. It's a 1960 Ludwig's super classic.

It's a beautiful kit.

And I took it down to a really cool drum shop

Revival drum shop here in Portland and I'm a big fan of them and the work that they did on the drum set

I've currently got it with a ride a crash in a high hat and then a second crash that was just sort of the symbol he had

that's a little bit more like a small ride.

It sounds a little bit more like a ride.
