The Drum Set is a novelty furniture item used in conjunction with the Drumstick to produce drum sounds. The Drum Set and Drumstick can be purchased from the Merchant for 10 GC and 50 SC respectively after either the Eater of Worlds, the Brain of Cthulhu, Skeletron, or the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

To play drum sounds, the player holding the Drumstick must be standing directly over the Drum Set and press ⚒ Use / Attack. The particular drum sound played is determined by the distance from the character to the cursor. From closest to farthest, by distance from the player (approximate percentage of the screen away from the character):

0-2.5%: Kick Drum
2.5-5%: Low Tom
5-7.5%: Mid Tom
7.5-11%: Hi Tom
11-13.3%: Snare Drum
13.3-16.6%: Floor Tom
16.6-19%: Hi-Hat (closed)
19-22.5%: Hi-Hat (open)
22.5-25%: Cymbal 1
25%+: Cymbal 2

Notes

Although the Drumstick is an auto-use item and its animation repeats when the ⚒ Use / Attack button is held, it does not play drum sounds repeatedly when the button is held. It will only produce a drum sound when clicking manually.

Trivia

The tooltip for the Drumstick is a reference to rock drummer Dave Grohl, the founder of the band Foo Fighters and drummer for the band Nirvana from 1990 to 1994, and his infamous coffee addiction.^[1] In 2009, he was admitted to a hospital due to a caffeine overdose.
The tooltip for the Drum Set is an onomatopoeia for a sting, a specific rhythm played on a drum set, particularly when someone makes a pun or a bad or obvious joke.
