Drums & Percussion

Drums and percussion instruments are among the oldest in human history, evolving from primitive hand drums to modern drum kits. Various styles cater to different genres, from orchestral timpani to jazz drum kits. Leading brands include Pearl (Masters Maple Series), Ludwig (Classic Maple), Gretsch (Broadkaster), and Tama (Starclassic). Percussion spans everything from Latin congas and bongos to orchestral snare drums and cymbals. These instruments serve crucial rhythmic functions in virtually all musical styles, with drum kits anchoring rock, jazz, and pop, while auxiliary percussion enhances global and classical music.
