original_response: I played drums. I had a really nice double bass setup. It was a pretty heavy band with nu metal influences.
history: I love to play the drums, I got a set in middle school but haven't played it in a few years. Did you know a drum kit's classical categorizations include the membranophones and the idiophones? I've never heard those and I think it is obvious why it did not catch on. What kind of influence did the bands have though?
