When we think about the musical instrument mode, the first thing that can be done is energy, noise, power and adrenaline, but how was this set of elements that were isolated created? ?.

It is useless to think about the origin of all the parts that make it up, because they are remotan to the principles of human history, perhaps the oldest form of musical instrument. Before the drummer was known that it was a drum or the drummer, the innovation was at that point where a single person could play the whole set of elements.

The percussion instruments were mostly used to mark the pace of a march or the rhythm of a boat, they became popular in the United States during civil wars, of course they were played by several people all parts of a set, that today we know as a drummer, that is, the bass drum, cymbals, drummers and drums. The best comes later, at the end of the war, when it is no longer necessary to set a pulse for military purposes.

Two things happened: The musicians were free to experiment with their instruments, since they did not have a fixed pattern to mark; the second was that thanks to the abolition of slavery the African descendants began to have participation in society & nbsp; and their musical culture as part of it. The first thing they experienced was that a single person played the bass drum and the drummer, although both of them touched it with their hands.

But it was not until 1910, when the pedals for bass drum and the supports of the drummers were commercialized, by the company Ludwig. This allowed the assembly of different elements and thus be able to be executed by a single instrumentalist. It should be noted that in those times, the battery was not as we know it today, but had unusual elements such as Wood-blocks and a single suspended plate.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the drums did not play any relevant or leading role in musical works, but rather fulfilled the role of maintaining the tempo of the songs. Later improvements in its configuration begin to appear, emerging other types of supports to assemble additional elements to the drum; begin to use the first toms with the ability to tune and played cymbals with the help of a pedal.
