Percussion

Percussion instruments are a subset of percussion instruments in which the sound is produced either by striking them or shaking them. Among all musical instruments, percussion today are, perhaps, the oldest of all those existing today. It's all about the nature of these tools. Primitive man noticed that different objects can make different sounds when they are hit. And some emit a very mysterious sound when shaken. This is how the first percussion instruments were born. And if we trace the history of the emergence of percussion, then we will certainly find that the homeland of most of them is Africa, that is, the place where, according to historians, the human race originated.

Today, percussion instruments have more than thirty types and more than a hundred subspecies. Among them, the most popular are djembe, darbuka, tambourine , shaker and maracas. All this, as well as other percussion, can be bought today in Kiev in the Colorsound music online store.

All types of percussion are divided into classes according to the pitch and its extraction. In turn, the height class is divided into those whose height is adjustable (for example, djembe ) and those whose sound is set and cannot be changed (for example, a shaker ). But in terms of sound production, such musical instruments are divided into membranophones and idiophones. The difference between these two classes is that in membrane instruments the sounding body has a stretched membrane, while in idiophonic instruments the body itself sounds. Membranophones use leather as a membrane. Although, in the modern world, many manufacturers have abandoned the practice of using materials from killed animals. Instead, artificial plastic is used, which is not inferior in its characteristics, and sometimes even surpasses the skin. Among the firms that have chosen this path is the leading manufacturer of drum heads, Remo, whose advanced technology is the envy of many brands, as they make not only an artificial membrane for drums and other percussion instruments, but also a material that replaces wood. ... As in the case of plastic, it surpasses natural wood in many ways. Choose your instruments with taste and play with pleasure!
