kickdrum
Floor-mounted bass drum
The kickdrum is the large bass drum in a drum kit, played with a foot pedal.
It provides the low, punchy foundation in most popular music—the thump you feel in your chest at a concert.
Also spelled as two words: The kick drum drives the track.
Musicians sometimes call it simply the kick.
