kick drum
Pedal-struck percussion
The kick drum is the large bass drum in a drum kit, played with a foot pedal.
It sits on the floor and produces the deep, low-frequency thump that anchors most popular music: The kick drum drives the beat.
Also called the bass drum, though kick drum specifically implies the pedal-operated version in a kit.
