bass drum definition and meaning

What is a "bass drum"?

A bass drum is a large, cylindrical percussion instrument with a deep, resonant sound. It has a wide, rounded shell and is typically played by striking it with large mallets or sticks. The bass drum produces low, booming tones that add a powerful, foundational rhythm to music. It is commonly used in orchestras, marching bands, and drum kits. The size and construction of the bass drum allow it to deliver a broad, low-frequency sound, making it essential for creating a strong rhythmic presence and emphasizing beats in various musical settings.
