Drums and percussion are the heartbeat of music. From the steady pulse of a kick drum to the shimmering accents of a cymbal, these instruments drive rhythm and emotion across every genre. Whether it’s a rock concert, a jazz trio, or a traditional African ensemble, percussion brings energy, structure, and soul to the sound.
What makes them so powerful is their versatility. Drums can be loud or subtle, complex or simple. Percussion spans everything from hand drums and shakers to marimbas and timpani. Learning to play even a basic rhythm can be incredibly rewarding, and a great way to connect with others through music.
