How long has the conventional drum set, been used, in music?
user
To my knowledge, drums were used in music as early as the eighth century, in the form of a pair of wooden drums with metal rims.  The term "drum set" became more common by the mid-twentieth century, although the equipment had been used before this time.

That makes sense. They seem to be a bit big and cumbersome. I've been to drum circles, where they have just one drum and play while sitting.

There are many variations on the drum set, such as variations on the type of drum. In my opinion, the smaller drum is more versatile and can be useful in a variety of situations, although it may not be practical for large or outdoor events.

That seems much easier than using many drums!
