Creation of the Drum Set • Military Brass Bands used to play with multiple drummers • Over time they started playing indoors and using fewer players out of A Brass Band in a parade necessity • Drummers were forced to play multiple percussion instruments simultaneously • The arrangement they used for this purpose evolved into what we now call a “Drum Set”
