A Drummer Who Can't Keep Time

. . . Anymore

We don't have a picture of the way it looked when new.
(So the above image was manipulated to look like that.)
When the works stopped working, it was converted thusly.

For those who are unaware of the components
of a typical drum set, here is a quick demo:

A Very Quick History

Before the twentieth century, even small bands employed multiple drummers.
A snare drum provides the distinctive rhythms while the bass drum keeps the beat.
Tom-toms and cymbals add interest with various levels of accents, highlights, etc.

At one point, someone cleverly built a contraption to allow the bass
drum to be operated by a foot pedal. Now, a single drummer could play
both parts. Eventually, it caused that drum to be known as a kick drum.

Piece by piece, other components were added to the setup.
The contraption set became known as a trap set for short.
Nowaways, the term is usually simply drum set or drum kit.

If a set is called a five-piece kit, it means there are
five drums in addition to the various cymbals. Three of
them are tom-toms, more often referred to simply as toms.

A seven-piece kit means there are more toms or perhaps a second kick.
Beyond that, the possiblies are literally endless. (I calculated it!)
