Percussion Kits

What is the difference between a standard and fusion drum kit?

i would like to know to have an idea for a drum kit. i want to know what style of music they are best for and the sound.

The difference is simple. On a 5-piece drumset with standard sizes, the high tom is 12", low tom is 13", and the floor tom is 16". On the same 5-piece drumset with fusion sizes, the high tom is 10", the low tom is 12", and the floor tom is 14". The standard sizes have a lower sound due to the larger heads, while the fusion sizes have a higher pitch. As far as what they are good for, that kind of depends on taste and playing style. Either type of sizes sounds good with most any kind of music. Fusion toms do sound good with jazz. Standards are pretty much universal. I have a 6-piece set that has fusion toms but, the second floor tom is 16", which allows me to have the high pitches of the 10 and 12" but also the low pitches of the 14 and 16". If you go with fusion, I recommend the 6-piece with the 16" floor tom.
