A “drum kit” is a set of drums, cymbals, and other percussion instruments that one person, typically seated, plays with a pair of drumsticks. Drums can be found anywhere in the world and in very ancient cultures, which suggests these musical instruments have a very ancient history.

In an band set up, the drummer lays the foundations, provides the pulse and brings the groove for the track, letting the rest of the band express themselves creatively. The beat of the track ties everyone together and the drummer proving themselves as a reliable timekeeper breeds trust amongst other players, ultimately leading to better music.

Learning to play drums can reduce stress, boost brain power, increase academic performance, develop confidence, and motor skill development. Playing the drums can help people express themselves and get in touch with their emotional state. Drumming helps us connect to our core, enhances our sense of empowerment and stimulates our creative expression.
