The Electrical Guitar
Enhancers:
a) Amplifier- What would an electrical guitar sound like without amplifier? Little to no sound! Amplifiers or speakers are not only used to raise the music volume; it is also used for special sound effects like distorting music or overdrive (increasing the gain).
b) Effect pedal- Electrical guitars don't just sound like guitars, they can sound like a baby crying, or metal clinking, if you have the right effect pedals to spruce things up! There are various types of effect pedals, but one of the notable type is the filter pedal, the wah-wah pedal.
c) Tuner- Used to tune guitar's strings when they go out of tune (which is pretty often), guitarists typically do not have a tuner, because they are better off using their ears to listen to the right tune!Notable Guitarists:
Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Chuck Berry, Stevie Ray Vaughan
Notable Guitar Brands:

The Drums
The biggest set of instrument in a rock band, in terms of outlook and sounds, no rock band is a rock band without an enthusiastic drummer. Also called the drum kit, it is a collection of drums, cymbals, pedals and hi-hats arranged for the drummer's energetic and quick 'bashing'. Crash, crash, crash and the drummer would make you rock to their beats.
Notable Drummers:
Jimmy Sullivan, Yoshiki Hayashi
