Drum Hardware for a Complete Drum Set
A drum set is like a well-built house with foundation and framework. This framework includes drum pedals, stands, toms, lugs, hoops, tension rods, and drum racks. And the foundations are the drum shells. All these together make up the drum hardware of the drum. Just like a house cannot be built without foundation and pillars, the drum is incomplete without the hardware because it acts as the pillar of the drum. Each of the hardware has different role to play.
Drum hardware basically refers to various kinds of stands that hold up the drum and the cymbals. Let us start with the most important pieces that play a vital role in building up the drum set as well as drum sound.
The pieces of metal that are attached to the side of the drum are the lugs. The main aim of the lugs is to attach the drum hoops or rim, which is fixed with the help of tension rods. Hoops mainly hold the drumhead in place and even help in tuning the drum.
Coming to the drum shells, it refers to the material used in the drum. Like, beginner's kits are made up of basswood or mahogany but higher kits are made up of more costly woods to get better sound quality.
Adding next piece of the drum hardware, i.e. the pedals. They are available in different types like, single chain drive, dual chain, belt driven, single spring pedal, dual spring pedal and pedal with footboards. Among them the dual chain pedals are harder and can take heavy foot. Even pedals with dual spring are much better than the single one. The footboard pedals are the high-end pedals and are strongest. Therefore, a combination of dual chain, dual spring and footboard makes a tough pedal.
Next important parts of the drum hardware are the stands. Stands give support to the whole set to provide proper positioning to it. The types includes:
- Boom stand: The most longest of the other hardware, the boom stand provides easy positioning to the cymbals anywhere around the kits.
- Cymbal stand: This drum hardware not only supports the cymbals but also hold toms, cowbells and tambourines as well.
- Hi-Hat stand: This is one of the vital parts of the hardware. It is like a straight cymbal stand that has a spring-operated pedal connected to a rod that opens and closes the top hi-hat cymbal. This cymbal is linked with the clutch that has a hole in the middle where the rod fits and is protected in the open position by a screw. The drummer needs to place both the feet on the pedal, while using hi-hats in the closed position, and just hit the lever and the hats drop. And has to do vice-versa to reset it to the open position.
- Snare stand: A snare is played most of the time and so it is necessary to have a solid snare stand. It is better to use double braced snare stand rather than using single braced that are light weighted and move often.
Another important part of the drum hardware is the toms. They are greater than the stands by 14'' and have legs to stand on their own. Once the drum is assembled it is mounted on the toms. It should be mentioned here that the sound quality of the drum depends on its positioning on the toms.

How long does an electric drum set last till it starts to break down?
I just bought a Roland electric drum set with a mesh snare and am curious as to how long i'll be playing this thing. Are they pretty sturdy? Any feedback would help.
An electronic drum set is like an acoustic kit in that it really depends on the person playing it. The Roland kit is top of the line and should last many years of constant playing. Like any mechanical device that you beat on with a stick, there will be issues of wear and tear. But as long as you take good care of it it should last a very long time. The brain is, of course, the most important part of the system. It is also the most fragile. There is an internal memory cache that uses a small lithium battery to retain volatile memory. In most cases this battery will last for the life of the unit but they do occasionally go bad after a while. If this happens then take it to your authorized Roland dealer and see if it can be replaced and the memory reloaded. It is most likely that if this ever does occur, it will be many years down the road and you will want to upgrade to the newest model then anyway.
The pads are very durable and aside from occasionally needing to replace the mesh head, you should have little trouble with the drums themselves. My roommate has the TD-6 kit with the mesh snare and rubber tom pads and cymbal pads. He has an extra bass drum pad and pedal to allow for double bass playing. We play in a band with a drummer who uses a full on acoustic kit but practices here with the electronic kit. He has a tendency to really play hard on this kit (as you would with an acoustic kit) and he sometimes complains about the occasional mis-trigger of the crash cymbal or the usual bass drum pedal adjustment (we are using a pair of standard chain drive pedals from groove percussion) He will be the first to tell you that it is a completely different experience playing on the electronic kit compared to his beloved acoustic kit but he has no problem adjusting to it and he really digs the high quality sounds and ability to play many different types of percussion. My roommate has had this kit for about 5 years and we have had no real problems with it, except for the occasional bad cable or busted mesh head. All in all, I am very impressed with it's performance and durability, and I would recommend it to any one interested in electronic drums

Pendulum, Wembley Arena
The ambitious Australian quintet Pendulum have their sights set on becoming the biggest electronic act in the world. It must have been a blow to the kudos then when Neil Diamond beat the dance-rockers' second drum'n'bass-meets-metal album, In Silico, to the No 1 slot in 2008.
