In metal music, double bass drums are often used to provide a heavy, fast-paced rhythm. This is achieved through the use of a double bass drum pedal on a single bass drum. Some metal drummers also use multiple toms and snare drums to add complexity and power to their beats. Cymbals such as the crash cymbal and ride cymbal are used to accentuate the beats and add color to the drumming. In general, metal drummers tend to use larger and heavier drums to produce a loud and powerful sound.
