A rather amateur question that anyone can answer for me - what are the standard parts of an average drum kit? If I had to guess, I would say bass drum, two toms, floor tom, hi-hat, crash symbol, and ride symbol? Am I forgetting anything here? Or on the other side, have I added anything that would not be on the world's simplest kit?
Thanks folks!

to make it functional i'd add a snare drum. kinda need one of them for most music you'd be playing.
to make it simple i'd drop the second tom. infact, i do.
i think that makes it complete. (ps - they are "cymbals")
if you want to get technical you would throw in mounting hardware, stands, kick pedal, and a throne.

Heh thanks for the info - the snare was simply me just forgetting, while "symbol" was something of a phonetic typo, I guess.
When you play without that second tom, what drum goes in its physical place? Do a lot of drummers you know go by this method, or is it method unique to Will?
PS - what's a throne? If it's simply a seat of some sort (I like alliteration) and you're saying that drummers are the kings of the musical world... I chuckle in your generation direction.

no drum goes in the second tom position. my ride cymbal actually sits in that area, over the kick drum to the right.
a throne is a seat. more of a stool, you could call it a drum stool. but honestly, that is what it is called. and yes, more often than not, the drummer can be considered king of the stage. everyone follows the drummer.
