When I was in school, about eight or nine years old I guess, we all had to pick a project for our music lessons. I chose to write about world drums because my brother had always played the drums at home so I’d grown up with the sound of drums ringing in my ears! Although it was for school I found the project really interesting and learnt about many drums from all around the world ? Turkey, Africa, South America to name but a few. The history of drumming is also extremely interesting and all cultures seem to have their own version of the drum with which to add beats and rhythm to their music.
