Cause it wasn't established that way. But if you want to, go ahead. Count all your stands while you're at it, and your drum keys and your stick bag.

If the count included cymbals, it would be a little confusing. "Oh, I have an eight piece kit". Is that four drums and four cymbals? Five drums and three cymbals?

I think the "piece count" should only be for bass and toms....no snare.

The snare is a drum, and part of the set. Why not count it?
I’ve seen ads for a "7 piece drum kit" and there are only 4 drums in the picture. Good thing that we have pictures.
8 piece set and a lot of GAS lol
I love seeing an ad in Craigslist for a 18-piece drumkit. Then you open the link, and it's a pic of a 5-piece groove percussion and a basic cymbal set-up.
I guess they were counting wing-nuts too.
Only counting the hi hats once...I have a 16 piece. 8 up and 8 down.
(LL) Sounds simple to me! Should I gather my things and leave?
Make that 17 pieces, 8 up and 9 down I forgot the bass drum.

I have to laugh when I see used drums on Ebay or Craigslist selling an 8 piece set or bigger and there is on 5 drums.

I thought we only counted the drums because it's already a stretch for any of us to count past 4. Adding the cymbals would get most of us into double digit counting.

Just because it gets confusing when talking about shell packs. Usually the snare is included, sometimes it isn't. I've seen a 22/12/13/16 advertised as a 4pc, but I've also seen a 22/12/16/snare advertised as a 4pc. Im thinking the snare is so much of a necessity, it should just be on its own.

I always counted double ply heads as two pieces and also count the reso head as another piece. I also include my sticks, the lugs on the heads and pedals.
While you was doing that I was watching your Mary Miller videos.
