I learned to play the drums for a year. I started at a young age because a family member had learned the drums first. Out of envy, I decided to give it a try myself. I was shorter than my friends and worried that it might be a problem, but I discovered that the drum stool and other equipment could be adjusted to my height, making it easy to learn.
A drum set includes the snare drum, bass drum, and the small, mid, and floor toms. The cymbals are comprised of the hi-hat and crash cymbal. The snare drum is used most frequently. The small tom produces a medium pitch, the mid tom a slightly lower pitch, and the floor tom the lowest pitch among the drums.
The bass drum is played with the foot using a pedal. It provides the beat and produces a very low sound. The crash cymbal makes a loud, noisy sound, and the hi-hat helps keep the rhythm.
out of envy - the desire to have for oneself something possessed by another; covetousness
나는 1년 동안 드럼을 배웠다. 가족 중 한 명이 먼저 드럼을 배웠기 때문에 어린 나이에 배우게 됐다. 부러운 마음에 나도 한 번 해보기로 했다. 친구들보다 키가 작아서 힘들지 않을까 걱정했는데 드럼 의자와 다른 장비를 내 키에 맞게 조절할 수 있어서 쉽게 배울 수 있었다.
드럼은 스네어 드럼, 베이스 드럼, 스몰탐, 미들탐, 플로어탐이 있다. 심벌은 하이햇과 크래쉬 심벌로 구성된다. 스네어 드럼은 가장 많이 친다. 스몰 탐은 중간 피치, 미드 탐은 약간 낮은 피치, 플로어 탐은 드럼 중 가장 낮은 피치를 만들어낸다.
베이스 드럼은 페달을 사용하여 발로 치는 드럼이다. 이 드럼은 박자를 잡아 주고 매우 낮은 소리를 낸다. 크래쉬 심벌은 크고 시끄러운 소리를 내며, 하이햇은 박자를 유지하는 데 도움을 준다.
