Helo there and welcome to this great site. Could you be a bit more specific for us. What do you mean by the drum parts? Are you talking about reading and note names etc?
Cheers.

1. ask a friend
2. go to a music store
3. visit a drum company website
4. create your own
There are some good places on the net for some drum music and exercises, just type a search into Google.com for drum grooves or something.
The Vic Firth website also has some interesting lessons, some of them on video.
Let us know how you get on...

You should really take lessons or at least befriend a drummer and ask some specific questions. It's kind of tough to describe all the parts of a drumkit unless you have one in front of you, or at least a picture. It's really fairly simple stuff; you can learn the basics of all the equipment in a matter of minutes.
yeah i'd do that too, but Brunei is such a small country so the're no specialized drum shop nor anyone that provides drumming lessons. I have friends but they're just a simple drummer that doesnt know anything..like me ^^ so that leaves me no choice but to learn everything online and ask for help in HOD boards. Well, i do have a CARLOS drum set with me, i'm not sure if you guys have heard of this brand. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Again thx for ur time! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

Okay, I'll bite.
The snare drum is the drum with the wires that are placed against the bottom head. It is often made of metal to give it a bright and crisp sound. The lever that raises and lowers it is called a strainer. On the other end of the drum is a small piece that holds the tape or wires of the opposite end of the snare wires, which is called the butt plate.
The bass drum is the big drum with the pedal on it that makes a very low (bass) tone. The rack toms are the tom toms that are mounted on top of your bass drum. A floor tom is a large tom that has legs and sits on the floor -if you're right handed it will be next to your right thigh. If that tom doesn't have legs, and hangs from a clamp attached to a cymbal stand, it is called a suspended tom.
The ride cymbal is the largest cymbal on your kit, usually 20 inches in diameter or larger and is often played during the chorus of a song. The cymbals in the 14 - 18 inch range are called crash cymbals because you hit/crash them at the end of your fills. The two cymbals mounted above each other about 3-4 off the floor are called hi-hats and they can be played with the pedal too. 80 years ago or so there wasn't a pole holding them so high, and they were just a foot or so off the floor and at that point were called sock cymbals. Cymbals in the 6 -12 inch range are played like crash cymbals, but make a shorter higher pitch crash sound and are called splash cymbals. The drummers seat is often called a throne. Whether this is because we are the royalty of the band, or because we get the most sh*t, is a matter of differing opinions. I hope this helps.
