Talk:Drum kit

In my view (I use a rather dark background) the (black) numbers (1 - 9) which are an inherent part of the actual image, are too small. But when I open this image, I get it larger, but then there are no names explaining these numbers.

Below the image it is written "O-zone" (with hyphen), but in
Drum_kit#Effects_cymbals / 2nd para / last sentence:
Likewise, Ozone crashes have the same purpose...
it is written without hyphen.
Are both correct or standard?

Bongos are mentioned below two images but not in the chapters.

The overview section classifies each type of instrument in the drum kit in brackets according to some universal musical instrument classification system. This uses a lot of space and to be frank, no one cares. This additional information can be put deeper in the article but is clearly unnecessary (even potentially confusing) in the overview.

Under the section for notation, the article states "As of 2016, a special percussion clef is used" implying that the percussion clef was invented/popularized in 2016 but I can't find a single source that supports that information. There is plenty of percussion sheet music from before 2016 using the percussion clef. I can't find any information on when exactly it did originate, but perhaps a sentence about how its use to denote rhythm dates back further than its adoption for strictly percussion, such as John Cage's The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs.

I removed it. It seems some editor in 2016 added that (possibly to comply with MOS:DATED). Why? I Ask (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
