Kdrums

Playing drums
Playing drums can relieve frustration, disappointment and stress. Playing for just a few minutes can boost your mood.
Similar to a “runner’s high,” drummers’ brains release feel-good endorphins immediately after playing. The physical stimulation of drumming and the sound vibrations that resonate through every cell in the body stimulate the release of negative emotions.

African Drums

Nevertheless, musicologist Arthur Morris Jones, who had travelled extensively throughout Africa from his home base in Zambia, found music across the continent so similar he considered even regional music styles a part of a bigger system found throughout Africa.

The underpinning elements of African drumming consist of syncopation and cross-beats, or polyrhythms, played on such diverse instruments as:

-the udu – a ceremonial drum played by women in Nigeria
-the slit drum, also called log drum
-the djembe: goblet-shaped, it is the most well-known of African drums

Basler Drum

This is a two-headed drum that takes its name from its place of origin – Basel. Basel is the name of a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine. It has a population of approximately 180,000 people and is the third most populated city of Switzerland. This drum is played in the Carnival of Basel, where around 2000 drummers play this type of drum. In the German language, this drum is known as a Tambouren.

Congas

These tall, Cuban drums typically come in groups of two or three. Conga drums come in three different sizes: quinto (small), conga/tres dos (medium), and tumba (large).
