- Size and Tuning: Tenor drums come in various sizes, typically larger than a snare drum but smaller than bass drums. Their tuning is lower than snares, giving them a warm, full tone.
- Single vs. Multi-Tenor Sets:
- Single Tenor: This is a single drum that might be used in orchestras or pipe bands.
- Multi-Tenor: In marching bands, multi-tenors (also called quads or quints) are sets of multiple tenor drums mounted together. These allow for complex, melodic patterns and are commonly arranged in groups of four or five drums.
- Shell Material: Like other drums, tenor drums are made from materials like wood or synthetic materials. Wood is common in orchestras, while synthetic materials are popular in marching bands for durability.
- Drumsticks and Mallets: Tenor drummers use specialized sticks or mallets, which are thicker and heavier than standard drumsticks to create a fuller sound.
