Drums (musical instrument)
The battery is a musical instrument that belongs to the family of percussion. This standard equipment is used in pop music, jazz, rock and heavy metal (in almost all genres), becoming therefore an indispensable tool for many music groups.
The battery is composed of a set of drums, commonly of wood, covered by two patches, one of scrimmage (on top) and a resonant (at bottom). These drums can vary in diameter, affecting the tone, and depth, varying sensitivity over the patch resonance. Also the battery is also accompanied by the necessary plates and other accessories (such as bells, tambourines, wood blocks, etc.). The battery can be tuned with a tuning key. The more tense the patch, the sharper the sound.
bass
The electric bass guitar (also called electric bass, or simply bass; pronounced, as in "base") is a stringed instrument played primarily with the fingers or thumb (either by plucking, slapping, popping, tapping, or thumping), or by using a plectrum.
The bass guitar is similar in appearance and construction to an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, with a four, some with five, or six strings tuned to the same pitches as those of the double bass, which correspond to pitches one octave lower than those of the four lower strings of a guitar (E, A, D, and G). The bass guitar is a transposing instrument, as it is notated in bass clef an octave higher than it sounds (as is the double bass) in order to avoid the excessive use of ledger lines. Like the electric guitar, the electric bass guitar is plugged into an amplifier and speaker for live performances.

Bajosexto
A bajo sexto is a musical instrument with 12 strings in 6 double courses, used in Mexican music. It is used primarily in norteño music of northeastern Mexico and across the border in the music of south Texas known as "Tex-Mex," "conjunto," or "música mexicana-tejana". A five course version of the bajo sexto has appeared in recent years in response to players removing the final E course, which they feel muddies the sound too much. Unsurprisingly, it's called the bajo quinto.
The bajo sexto sound provides a strong rhythm in the lower pitched end of a Conjunto or Tejano band and also provides a strong projection of chord changes across songs.
