The use of the HYPHEN
Are there any rules as to when the hyphen should be used with nouns?
For example, is it the drumkit, the drum kit or the drum-kit?
How do we know when there should be a hyphen, when there should not be one, and when the words can be written separately?

'Drum kit' would be the expected form. Normally noun/noun formations do not hypenate unless together they serve as an adjective: 'Drum kit'; 'drum-kit instructions'
