There are seven, hard-hitting marching and orchestral snare drums, quad tom-tom racks, hand cymbals, a concert bass drums including a mammoth forty-inch, orchestral chimes (tubular bells), four tympani covering 1 and 1/2 octaves, plus loads of drum corps/marching band and hip-hop street grooves.

I found for playing percussive fills in dense arrangements the Zildjian Hand Cymbals added a special sound that cuts through without being loud. I also like the Yamaha Marching Snare for its high pitch and super short, tight "pop". The Ludwig Concert 40-inch bass drum hit with a hard mallet is huge sounding and excellent for replacing 808 kicks because you can hear the mallet hitting the skin.
