What Are Drums?
Drums are percussion instruments that have been a part of music for hundreds of years. Their origins can be traced back to Europe, Far East and Africa. Drums are typically cylindrical with two or more drums-heads stretched over the top. They are typically made of metal components with plastic, synthetic or natural drum-heads. Drummers use sticks, brushes and other equipment to beat out different rhythms and timbres on the drums. The sounds created by drums are diverse and can range from deep thumps, rumbling bass tones and snappy snares to playful tones or ambient textures. Drums can also be used in music of all types, from the deep thump of the kick drum in a rock song to the syncopated rhythms of the Cuban Conga drums. Plus, drums offer musicians and producers an incredible range of musical possibilities. From electronic acoustic experimental music to modern pop, the possibilities of drums are truly endless and will likely continue to drive creativity in music for many years to come.
