Drums

Drums are the most common percussive instrument and they come in many forms, from a simple bongo to the popular drum set used in rock and roll. Those who play a drum set develop timing, stamina and ambidexterity.

The drums included in a set include:
• Snare
• Bass
• Mid-toms
• Floor-toms
• Cymbals

Unlike other instruments, most drums are not pitched – that is, they are not tuned to a certain key. Snare drums, cymbals, bass drum and bongos are all examples indefinite percussive instruments that produce complex frequencies but no clear pitch.
