Over the years according to photos and film footage, Roger increasingly disappeared behind his stage apparatus. What WAS all of that? As a person who knows nothing about musical instruments, why so many cymbals? They all look the same to me. Do they come in different keys/tones? And how many drums were up there? I would imagine they all have their own resonance. I don't know my music groups, but did Roger have more than most? His favorite brands?

"Why so many cymbals?"
Simple really. Different cymbals produce different sounds depending on what they are made from and what size they are.

Roger's drum-sets are far from excessive, compared to what many other rock-drummers have used to pile up on stage during the last decades.
Roger might have a massive drum kit but after seeing Cozy Powell live i swear Cozy could deafen anyone with a set of saucepans !

Hello. I play drums.
As somebody wrote, each part of the kit produce a different sound.
In Roger's kit, he used to have like 5 o 6 toms, in 12", 13", 14" 16" and 18" sizes, plus a bass drum (24"), a snare (14"), a couple electronic pads (in the 80's) and rototoms.
Speaking of cymbals, his basic kit had the HiHats, a few crashes, a ride, a pair of huge chinas and some bells.

His drumkit is so massive because it's a penis extension.
I own a drumkit. It's microscopic.

have you seen the drummers kit from Rush?! I can't remember his name as I'm not a fan but I saw a picture once. I swear he has to be airlifted into that thing
That would be Neil Pert, my dear.
