Drums vary in size depending on their intended use and the type of music they’re being used for. The most common drums in a five-piece drum kit include a kick drum, snare drum, and three tom-toms. The kick drum is the largest drum in the kit, typically around 20 inches in diameter, and it sits on the floor. The snare drum is usually between 13 and 14 inches in diameter and is positioned at the player’s right-hand side. Tom-toms come in different sizes, with the smallest usually around 8 inches in diameter (known as a Vir Vir tom) and the largest around 16 inches (known as a floor tom). There are also larger and smaller drums available, such as timpani and octobans, but these are less common in most music settings.
