3     Drums are not played with notes but with events. You trigger
4     the drum or you don't trigger it. But there's no such range thing
5     like a piano has or strings or synths. Back in the 1980s some
6     people thought, it would be good to have something like a
7     drum map. Switching from a piano to strings only needs some
8     adjustment in octaves but notes sound the same. Switching from
9     one drum set to another could cause a mess or silence. Without
10     a standardized assignment of note (events) and drums it's quite
11     hard to move from a jazzy drum set with brushes to a more
12     straightforward rock drum set.
