In music notation, f is an abbreviation for forte which is a dynamic term meaning loud or strong. This denotes that the section of the music should be played loudly. Here is a list of some dynamic levels from quietest to loudest.
pp (very quiet), p (quiet), mp (medium quiet), mf (medium loud), f (loud), ff (very loud)
I'm guessing you're talking about the forte marking. It means you should play the music loudly. F in all music, not just drum music is a forte marking. Here's a list of dynamic markings.
pp : pianissimo - play really softly
p : piano - play softly
mp : mezzo-piano - play moderatly soft
mf : mezzo-forte - play moderately loud
f : forte - play loud
ff : fortissimo - play really loud!
They indicate dynamic changes. P = Piano (soft) F = Forte (strong)
If you want to get a bit farther into it, other dynamic notations include :
mp = mezzo-piano (moderately soft)
mf = mezzo-forte (moderately strong)
pp = pianissimo (very soft)
ff = fortissimo (very strong)
So, in short, they just tell you how quietly or how loudly you should play.
FF stands for the Italian word fortissimo meaning "very loud".
It means to play quietly; it is short for the Italian word "piano".
Forte. loudly. Or it is a key signature or chord having the note F as it's tonic (first note).
Play loudly. from forte (strong in Italian) molto forte mf very loudly
