I sometimes played the drums when I was a kid. Did you?
No, but i"ve been around people who do. In the 2000's some drum kits started including electronic instruments
Is there anything particularly special about drums?
The kit is a collection of drums and other percussion instruments and are on stands is all I really know
Is there anything else special you can tell me about drums?
There are electric drums or digital drums , that is the modern  type
