    What is your favorite part of the drumset?

    My Favorite is the snare drum. I like all the dynamics you can get out of that drum. On my acoustic kit, I have a pearl 6.5 x 14 free float. I have had that snare since the early 90's. It is just a great sounding and playing snare. Watching the movie "Drumline" and seeing what those guys can do on snares just amazes me.

    What is your favorite part of the drumset?

    I have to go for the small tom, as it usually begins the fill which forms the accents...

      My throne. Can't imagine playing my kit for an hour without it.

      Seriously though, I can't think of an favorite part. Each quality part, well tuned, is a blast to play. When I go to the guy were our fanfare bought its drumkit and I sit behind any kit he is selling, I 'm in heaven. They are all tuned so well. And my favorite is the one we bought, with the exeption that the one in his store is tuned super. And I can't get ours to the same tone

          That's exactly what I was going to say!

          Seriously, I can't think of a favourite component. I just love playing

            well, somebody should mention the modules, with all their faults, they bring the possiblity of drumming to many who cant for various reasons (read: neighbours, family)

            I love what we have, even if its not perfect!

              I think my favorite part is the hihat.
              Ask not whether something is useful -- ask what it is useful for.

              Roland TD-12, Iron Cobra hihat stand and bass-drum pedal from TAMA. My accoustic kit is a Yamaha Power-V Birch with Paiste Alpha-series splashes, crashes, and hihat. My ride is a Zildjan Ping Ride, 20" I think.

              Check out my TD-12 on Youtube. My page is here http://www.youtube.com/HerlPearl.

                  OK you cant do much without a throne but apart from that, drums only considered, I cant split the snare and bass. The combination between the two is what its all about for me. Hearing a good snare / kick combination just hits me in the head.

                      My favorite part of the drums would have to be the sticks, because even if you're not at a set of drums, you can improvise!
                      Otherwise, I'd have to agree that it's difficult to choose a specific piece, but the Boom/Boom of the Bass drum always gets my foot tapping...

                        My favorite part of my kit is me! Without me, they just sit there collecting dust!

                        I have done some stand-up drumming, which I love. It's like dancing, but you get to make lots of noise!
