While many instruments like the guitar or piano are
capable of performing melodies and chords, most

drum kits are unable to achieve this as they produce
sounds of indeterminate pitch. The Drum Kit is a part

of the standard rhythm section, used in many types of
popular and traditional music styles, ranging from
rock and pop to blues and jazz. Other standard

instruments used in the rhythm section include the

piano, electric guitar, electric bass, and keyboards.

Many drummers extend their kits from this basic

configuration, adding more drums and cymbals, and
other instruments including pitched percussion.

Some progressive drummers may include orchestral
percussion such as gongs and tubular bells.
