At the "Model IFB Church" I used to attend, the orchestra had tympani drums, a snare drum, bass drum, and I think a couple of "Toms" along with a few cymbals. It was perfectly acceptable so long as they were all kept separated and played by several musicians. What would be forbidden is putting all drums together into a "Drum Set" and having one person play them all at once!

I hope that’s not a true story. SMH
