Cocktail drums are generally a stand up kit. It has a longer "floor" tom that is used as a bass drum with an inverted kick pedal on the bottom. On top of it is a snare drum mounted to it. usually a top is mounted off the side. They have a cymbal arm and a closed hi hat attachment.

 

Not the kind of thing you want for playing metal, but it has its function and uses.

 

Yamaha makes a nice kit but it's kind of pricey. I sell the Peace version for under 1/2 of the Yamaha kit. The Peace version has maple/mahogany shells. Cool kit.

 

www.peacemusic.com.tw Look for the "Manhattan" kit.

No shit. Cocktail drums are for more like coffee shop gigs.

The background band in "Something About Mary" had a drummer playing a cocktail drum. :)
