The drum shell, also known as the drum body or drum casing, must be strong to withstand the tension of the drumhead and the impact of the drum sticks or beaters. It is usually made of wood, metal, or a composite material.
Drum Hoops:
The drum hoops are the circular metal rings that hold the drumhead in place. They must be strong enough to maintain the tension of the drumhead and prevent it from popping off during playing.
Drum Lugs:
The drum lugs are the screws or bolts that attach the drum hoops to the drum shell. They must be strong enough to hold the hoops securely and withstand the tension of the drumhead.
Drum Tension Rods:
The drum tension rods are the screws or bolts that control the tension of the drumhead. They must be strong enough to hold the drumhead in place and withstand the tension without stripping or breaking.
Drum Brackets and Mounts:
Drum brackets and mounts are the metal parts that attach various accessories to the drum, such as cymbals, tom holders, and bass drum pedals. They must be strong enough to support the weight of the accessories and withstand the forces generated during playing.
