Cymbal, hi-hat, and tom-tom stands (if it comes with), as well as bass drum pedals and drum thrones are usually standard in most drum kits. Most mass produced drum kits are sold in one of two five-piece configurations (referring to the number of drums only), which typically include a bass drum, a snare drum, two toms, and one floor tom. The standard sizes (sometimes called ‘rock’ sizes) are 22” (head size diameter) bass drum, 14” snare drum, 12” and 13” mounted toms, and a 16” floor tom. The other popular configuration is called "Fusion", a reference to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_fusion" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Jazz fusion"&gt;jazz fusion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;music, which usually includes a 20” (or sometimes 22") bass drum, a 14” snare drum, and 10”, 12” mounted toms, and a 14” floor tom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Drum pedals have a felt beater which the drummer operates by pressing down on the pedal. When the pedal is depressed, it pulls a chain or sturdy cloth strap which is attached to the end of the fulcrum-mounted beater rod. Some bass pedals are designed to be attached to the bass drum using metal screws. In some metal bands like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Anthrax"&gt;Anthrax&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreator" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Kreator"&gt;Kreator&lt;/a&gt;, or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Slayer"&gt;Slayer&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass_pedal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Double bass pedal"&gt;double bass pedals&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were developed to play on one bass drum, eliminating the need for a second bass drum.

Some drummers make use of a drop clutch, which is used to open or close the hi hat by tapping a device with the stick as an alternative to using the foot pedal. When the drop clutch is closed, this keeps the hi-hats closed without the drummer having to hold down the pedal.

margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Drummers who perform in concert venues often have a variety of equipment cases to transport the drums, cymbals and hardware. Performers who play local gigs may only have relatively inexpensive padded cloth bags or thin plastic cases. Professional touring drummers who have to ship their drums will typically have heavy-duty road cases that will securely hold and protect the equipment during transport. Professional drummers may also carry their own drum microphones (usually referred to as "mics") with them to shows, to avoid having situations where a venue has substandard equipment. In particular, the bass drum needs a specialized mic, because it produces a high sound pressure; a regular mic designed for vocals will not be able to do justice to the sound of a powerful bass drum. Some drummers who have their own mics have a set of drum-mounted mics, an approach which eliminates the need for mic stands and reduces set-up time. In some styles of music, drummers may also use electronic effects on drums. In some situations, drummers use noise gates that shut off any microphones which are not being used. This allows the sound engineer to use a higher overall volume for the drum kit, because it reduces the number of "active" mics which could feed back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;In some styles or settings, such as country music clubs or churches, the drummer may use a plexiglass screen to dampen the onstage volume of the drums. Many drummers who play in different venues carry carpeting or mats to prevent the bass drum from slipping on a wooden floor. Some drummers use a insulation-style filling or foam in the bass drum to lessen the "ringing" sound. Drummers often use a variety of accessories when they are practicing. Metronomes and beat counters are used to develop a steady rhythm. Drum mufflers are used to lessen the volume of drums during practicing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none;

Shot also includes an extra PD-105 tom pad, CY-8 cymbal, Axis Longboard double kick pedal, and Iron Cobra Hi-Hat stand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Some drummers use some or all electronic drum components. There are two approaches to using electronic drums. One approach is to use drum trigger pads for all of the different instruments. These pads are discs with a rubber-type coating that can be mounted on stands in the same locations that the traditional drum shells would be placed. Each disc has a piezoelectric transducer which transmits an electronic signal when it is struck. A patch cord from each drum pad disc is plugged into a drum synthesizer module and connected to the appropriate synthesized or sampled drum sound. Thus, when the drummer strikes the drum pad that is designated as the snare drum pad, the synthesizer module produces the sound of a snare drum. Since the sound is produced by a synthesizer, a performer can choose a range of sounds, such as samples of an actual drum or cymbal or electronic drum sounds. A drummer could even have the synthesizer produce non-drum sounds, such as sound effects or pitched notes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;The advantage of playing with a purely electronic drum kit is that there is no onstage drum sound, apart from any sound from a monitor or keyboard amplifier (which can be easily turned up or down). This may be desirable for venues in which only a quiet drum sound is desired, as in the case of a church or a music theater show. As well, a drummer with electronic drums can practice without being concerned about disturbing neighbors or room-mates. Another advantage is that electronic drums do not need to be mic-ed and sound-checked. The disadvantage of electronic drums is that they may not have the full range of tonal options and textures that are available with natural drums, and the pads and plastic cymbals may not have the same "feel" for the performer. For example, an entry-level electronic drum system will have a snare sound, but the snare drum pad may not have a sensor that detects "rim shots". Another potential disadvantage is that an electronic drummer needs to have a keyboard amplifier or PA system in order to be heard in a rehearsal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;The second approach to playing electronic drums is to use a regular drum kit (wooden shells and metal cymbals) and attach trigger sensors to each drum or cymbal. The sensors are then routed to a synthesizer module in the same fashion as a purely electronic drum kit. The advantage of this approach is that a drummer could switch between traditional, natural drum sounds and quirky electronica drum sounds throughout a performance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em; width: auto;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection" style="float: right; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 5px;"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drum_kit&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=5" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Edit section: Sizing"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Sizing"&gt;Sizing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Snare, tom and bass drum sizes are commonly expressed as&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;diameter x depth&lt;/i&gt;, both in inches, for example 14 x 5.5 is a common snare drum size.

Another common sized drum kit is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;fusion&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;set. A standard 5 piece fusion drum kit will consist of a 20" x 16" bass drum, 10" x 8" rack tom, 12" x 9" rack tom, 14" x 14" floor tom and a 14" x 5.5" snare drum. Jazz drum kits usually exclude the mid tom. In recent years manufacturers have introduced modification to the rock kit standard, with more and more drum makers offering a "1 up, 2 down" configuration, where the configuration includes two floor toms and a single rack tom. This evolution can be explained by the popularity of artists such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Led Zeppelin"&gt;Led Zeppelin&lt;/a&gt;'s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bonham" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="John Bonham"&gt;John Bonham&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who in fact modeled his kit after&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Krupa" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Gene Krupa"&gt;Gene Krupa&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;a Big Band era jazz drummer. The amount of pieces in a drum kit can vary by large amounts from player to player due to personal preference from minimal kits mainly used in rockabilly and dixieland jazz to indulgently sized kits in some progressive rock, fusion, and metal groups. The size of bass drums differs a great deal between different styles. A jazz drummer may use a relatively small bass drum, because in jazz, the bass drum is often used more as an accent instrument than for laying down a heavy beat. In contrast, a metal or hard rock drummer may have a very large bass drum (often multiple bass drums) that can produce a deep, resonant tone. This obviously varies upon the genre of the music in which is being played.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none;

margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;La batería electrónica consta generalmente de parches virtuales, o pads electronicos, similares a los de parctica (de material poco vibrante), que producen un sonido determinado y programable. Hay algunos modelos que permiten tocar encima de la música o de otros ritmos ya registrados anteriormente o ya incluidos en la caja de sonidos instalada en la batería electrónica. Muchas baterías ya llevan incluidos muchos sonidos para programar en los parches y no tener que incluir ningún instrumento más.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Las diferentes partes de una batería electrónica común son (en algunos tipos se pueden incluir más):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: url(http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/images/bullet-icon.png?1); list-style-type: square; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.3em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;1 caja&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;3 tom (normalmente 2 sobre el pad del bombo y otro al lado opuesto de la caja&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;1 bombo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;2 platillos (&lt;i&gt;crash&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;y&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;ride&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;2 platillos de&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;hi-hat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;(charles)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;1 pedal para el bombo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;1 pedal para el&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;charles&lt;/i&gt;.

En todo caso, hoy en día los fabricantes de baterías electrónicas disponen de muchas tecnologías que buscan homologar sonidos, apariencia y sensación al golpe, llegando incluso a tener sonidos que imitan diferentes tipos de maderas, sonidos diferentes en las areas de los pads (imitando rimshots o golpes en la campana, centro y borde del plato, aleaciones de metales, y/o marcas en el caso de los platillos. También hay algunas que usan parches tradicionales y algunas híbridas o electroacústicas, que pueden usarse de ambas formas. Otra ventaja es que pueden ser fácilmente conectadas a un computador, con lo que se pueden experimentar una infinidad de sonidos y es facil de grabar. Hay bateristas, como&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Neil Peart"&gt;Neil Peart&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Rush"&gt;Rush&lt;/a&gt;, que usan kits con ambos sistemas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black; font-size: 19px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em; width: auto;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection" style="float: right; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px;"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bater%C3%ADa_(instrumento_musical)&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=7" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Editar sección: Técnica"&gt;editar&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="T.C3.A9cnica"&gt;Técnica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;La manera de tocar la batería ha ido evolucionando con el tiempo, dado a que las necesidades de los bateristas cambian, y aunado a eso, la manera de encontrar sonidos diversos con sólo tomar las clásicas baquetas, es aquí, en donde inicia este interesante apartado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;En primer lugar cabe destacar que actualmente no sólo existen las baquetas de madera para tocar, sino que también hay escobillas o escobetillas, baquetones de goma o de fieltro, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;A la forma de agarrar las baquetas se le llama "grip". La forma sugerida de tomarlas es: 1.- Dividir aproximadamente una baqueta normal en tres partes. 2.- Tomar la última parte (opuesta a la bellota), y cerrar la mano, tratando de que quede un espacio para que la baqueta pueda pendulear fácilmente. A este espacio se le conoce como fulcro o fulcrum.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Se emplean movimientos de dedos, muñecas, codos y brazo, dependiendo de la distancia, fuerza y técnica de cada baterista.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;En los últimos tiempos, se han adoptado los estilos del grip francés y el normal, ya que su comodidad hace que sea el preferido de un gran número de percusionistas. El francés lo encontramos, principalmente en los bateristas de jazz o bossa nova aunque hay excepciones; mientras que el grip normal, se usa para balada, rock alternativo, música ranchera, estilos latinos, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="background-attachment: initial;

Es un instrumento llamado de percusión menor. Membranófono compuesto por dos tambores de madera con un parche cada uno, con una diferencia de altura entre ellos generalmente de una cuarta o quinta. Los parches son ceñidos por unos aros y un sistema de tensión por llaves (en su inicio eran tensados mediante el calor del fuego o con cuerdas o correas). Los tambores van unidos por el costado con una pieza de madera, aunque antiguamente se hacía con una tira de cuero o una soga. Los tambores son de forma cónica y se ejecutan con los golpes de las palmas de la mano o con baquetas. El tamborcillo más pequeño es llamado&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;macho&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;y se coloca a la izquierda; quedando a la derecha el mayor llamado&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;hembra&lt;/i&gt;. Generalmente se coloca entre las rodillas del ejecutante sentado, aunque también es muy utilizado sobre un atril. El/a ejecutante suele alternar su uso con el cencerro cubano, utilizado generalmente en el clímax del son, llamado el&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;montuno&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Existe información que hace pensar que su origen proviene de unos tamborcitos hechos con duelas de madera de pequeñas bateas y cuero fino de venado utilizados para rezos a Elebwa (deidad de la religión afrocubana) o de otros, usados por pares, como ofrenda a los ibbeyis (deidades mellizas en los culto de santería). Otras informaciones hablan de conjuntos de son que utilizaban un solo tamborcito, que se sujetaba con una mano o sobre el brazo y se percutía con la otra. Más tarde el empleo de los dos tambores se lograba uniéndolos con una tira de cuero o una soga, colgándolos de una pierna del ejecutante sentado, quedando los tamboreas a ambos lados de la misma.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Su evolución ha estado muy ligada a la aparición y popularidad del son montuno cubano.

En la práctica, lo que define nuestro modelo de baquetas no es el estilo que toquemos, sino nuestra fisionomía, si se nos cansan las muñecas y los antebrazos con unas más pesadas, o si con unas baquetas más largas nos da la sensación de que nos sobra parte de esa baqueta.

The Jazz Bass (often referred to as a "J-bass") featured two single-coil pickups, one close to the bridge and one in the Precision bass' split coil pickup position. The earliest production basses had a 'stacked' volume and tone control for each pickup. This was soon changed to the familiar configuration of a volume control for each pickup, and a single, passive tone control.

Another common tuning used on early five-string basses is E-A-D-G-C, known as "tenor tuning". This is still a popular tuning for jazz and solo bass. Other tunings such as C-E-A-D-G are used though rare. The fifth string provides a greater lower range (if a low B or A is used) or a greater upper range (if a high C string is added) than the four-string bass, and gives access to more notes for any given hand position. The earliest five string was created by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Fender"&gt;Fender&lt;/a&gt;in 1965.

The six-string bass is a four-string bass with an additional low "B" string and a high "C" string. While much less common than four- or five-string basses, they are still used in Latin, jazz, and several other genres, as well as in studio work where a single instrument must be highly versatile. Alternative tunings for six-string bass include B-E-A-D-G-B, matching the first five strings of an acoustic or electric guitar, and EADGBE, completely matching the tuning of a six-string guitar but one octave lower allowing the use of guitar chord fingerings. Rarer tunings such as EADGCF and F#BEADG provide a lower or higher range in a given position while maintaining consistent string intervals. The original six-string bass was created by Danelectro in 1958, as a guitar tuned down an octave (EADGBE).

This in turn produces small electrical voltages in the coils. These low-level signals are then amplified and played through a speaker. Since the 1980s, basses are often available with battery-powered "active" electronics that boost the signal, provide equalization controls to boost or cut bass and treble frequencies, or both.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;Less commonly, non-magnetic pickups are used, such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Piezoelectricity"&gt;piezoelectric&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;pickups.

J pickups are typically&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-coil" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Single-coil"&gt;single-coil&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;designs, although there are a large number of humbucking designs. As with the halves of the P-pickups, the J-pickups are reverse-wound with reverse magnetic polarity. As a result they have hum canceling properties when used at the same volume, with hum cancellation decreasing when the pickups are used at unequal volume and altogether absent when each pickup is used individually. 'J' Style pickups tend to have a lower output and a thinner sound than 'P' Style pickups making it perfect for most rock music. Many bassists choose to combine a 'J' pickup at the bridge and a 'P' pickup at the neck, to be 'blended' together for a unique sound.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Precision" pickups&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;(which refers to the original Fender Precision Bass), which are also referred to as "P pickups", are actually two distinct&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-coil" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Single-coil"&gt;single-coil&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;pickups. Each is offset a small amount along the length of the body so that each half is underneath two strings. The pickups are reverse-wound with reversed magnetic polarity to reduce hum. This makes the 'P' pickup a [humbucking] single coil pickup, something almost unique to the 'P' style pickup. Less common is the single-coil "P" pickup, used on the original 1951 Fender Precision bass.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-37" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar#cite_note-37" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;38&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Dual Coil" (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbucker" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Humbucker"&gt;Humbucker&lt;/a&gt;) pickups&lt;/b&gt;, also known as "DC pickups", have two signal producing coils that are reverse wound around opposed polarity magnets (similar in principle to the two individual J-pickups). This significantly reduces noise from interference compared to single coil pickups. Humbuckers also often produce a higher output level than single coil pickups. Dual coil pickups come in two main varieties; ceramic or ceramic and steel. Ceramic only magnets have a relatively harsher sound than their ceramic and steel counterparts, and are thus used more commonly in heavier rock styles.&lt;ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: url(http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/images/bullet-icon.png?1); list-style-type: square; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.3em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;A well-known bass humbucker is the pickup used on the Music Man series of basses; it has two coils, each with four large polepieces. This style is known as the "MM" pickup for this reason, and many aftermarket pickup manufacturers and custom builders incorporate these pickups. The most common configurations are a single pickup at the bridge, two pickups similar in placement to a Jazz Bass, or an MM pickup at the bridge with a single-coil pickup (often a "J") at the neck. These pickups can often be "tapped", meaning one of the two coils can be essentially turned off, giving a sound similar to a single-coil pickup.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Soapbar" Pickups&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;are so-named due to their resemblance to a bar of soap and originally referred to the Gibson&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-90" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="P-90"&gt;P-90&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;guitar pickup.

Multiple pickups are also quite common, two of the most common configurations being a "P" near the neck and a "J" near the bridge (e.g., Fender Precision Bass Special, Fender Precision Bass Plus), or two "J" pickups (e.g., Fender Jazz).
