"Characteristics, & History".
Answer:
A drum kit is commonly described by the number of pieces it consists of. To work out how many ‘piece’ drum kit you have simply add up all the drums, ignoring cymbals and other hardware. Another method is to count the toms and then add 2 (for the snare and bass drum). So if your drum kit has 5 toms then it’s likely to be a 7 piece kit (assuming it has one snare drum and one bass drum). If a kit has one bass drum, one snare drum and one tom then it’s a 3 piece kit. The most common configuration is a 5 piece kit consisting of a bass drum, snare drum and 3 toms (high, mid and low) – and then of course you also have the hi-hats, cymbals etc. but these don’t count towards the number of ‘pieces’. You could have a 5 piece kit with 100 cymbals – it’s still a 5 piece kit.

Answer:
Syncopation
, pentatonic scales and modal scales.
Explanation:
<em>Syncopation</em> in music represents an <em>alternation of different rhythms</em> that occurs suddenly so as to break the rhythm's regular flow. It is used in dance music and pieces rich in syncopation induce a <em>desire to move to the music</em>.
<em>Pentatonic scales</em> are music scales containing 5 notes per octave (Ancient Greek <em>pente </em>meaning five) and they root from ancient civilizations. This scale was discovered naturally through human's innate sense of music.
<em>Modal scales </em>can be derived from one <em>major scale </em>with a different starting tone. One of the most common modes is <em>Aeolian</em>, which starts at the sixth major scale tone.
All of the above are the specific elements present in romantic music (XIX century).
