Page "Drum kit" Paragraph 17

By World War I drum kits were characterized by very large bold marching bass drums and many percussion items suspended on and around them, and they became a central part of jazz music, specifically ( but not limited to ) dixieland.

Metal consoles were developed to hold Chinese tom-toms, with swing out stands for snare drums and cymbals.

On top of the console was a " contraption " ( shortened to " trap ") tray used to hold whistles, klaxons, and cowbells, thus drum kits were dubbed " trap kits.

" Hi-hat stands appeared around 1926.
