=== Drums === [[File:Dave Grohl 1989.jpg|alt=Dave Grohl playing drums circa 1989|left|thumb|Drummer [[Dave Grohl]], who played with [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] and later went to form the band [[Foo Fighters]]]] In contrast to the "massive [[drum kit]]s" used in 1980s [[pop metal]],<ref>Weinstein, Deena. ''Rock'n America''. University of Toronto Press, 2015. p. 223</ref> grunge drummers used relatively smaller drum kits. One example is the drumkit used by Soundgarden drummer [[Matt Cameron]]'s set-up. He uses a six-piece kit (this way of describing drumkits counts only the wooden drums, and does not count the [[cymbals]]), including a "12Γ8-inch rack [[Tom-tom drum|tom]]; 13Γ9-inch rack tom; 16Γ14-inch [[floor tom]]; 18Γ16-inch floor tom; 24Γ14-inch [[bass drum]]" and a [[snare drum]] and, for [[cymbals]], [[Zildjian]] instruments, including "... 14-inch K Light [Hi-][[Hi-hat|hats]]; 17-inch K Custom Dark [[Crash cymbal|crash]] [cymbal] and 18-inch K Crash Ride; 19-inch Projection crash; a 20-inch Rezo crash; ... and a ... 22-inch A Medium [[Ride cymbal|ride]] [cymbal]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/matt-camerons-pearl-jam-drum-setup-in-pictures-562870 |title=Matt Cameron's Pearl Jam drum setup in pictures |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=September 24, 2012 |website=musicradar.com |publisher=Music Radar|access-date=March 11, 2017}}</ref> A second example is Nirvana drummer [[Dave Grohl]]'s set-up during 1990 and 1991. He used a four-piece [[Tama Drums|Tama]] drumset, with an 8" Γ 14" birch snare drum, a 14" Γ 15" rack tom, a 16" Γ 18" floor tom, and a 16" Γ 24" bass drum (this kit "was demolished at the Cabaret Metro, Chicago, 10/12/91").<ref name=livenirvana>{{cite web |url=http://www.livenirvana.com/equipment/dave.php |title=Live Nirvana Equipment Guide: Dave Grohl |author=<!--Not stated--> |website=livenirvana.com |publisher=LiveNirvana! |access-date=March 11, 2017}}</ref> Like Matt Cameron, Dave Grohl used Zildjian cymbals. Grohl used the company's A Series Medium cymbals, including an 18" and a 20" crash cymbal, a 22" ride cymbal, and a pair of 15" hi-hat cymbals.<ref name=livenirvana />
