Drums are a member of the percussion family of musical instruments! They are some of the oldest instruments known to man and date back to period of 5500–2350 BC. Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped. It's not easy to be a percussionist because it takes a lot of practice to hit an instrument with the right amount of strength, in the right place and at the right time. Percussion instruments keep the rhythm, make special sounds, add excitement and color, and are highly versatile! They may be found in all genres of music from classical to rock.

What if I don’t have enough space in my house for a full set of drums?
Many electric drum kit models are foldable, allowing for easy storage when not in use. This makes them ideal for those with limited space, as you can set up your kit for practice and then neatly tuck it away when you're done. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, an electric drum kit can enhance your playing experience while accommodating your living space.
How often should I be practicing?
Practice time varies by age, skill level, and goals. Beginners and younger students should practice 15-25 minutes daily to build a strong foundation without stress. Intermediate students should practice for at least 45 minutes a day to improve their skills and repertoire. Advanced students may practice for several hours to refine their abilities and explore creativity. Consistency is essential; a regular practice schedule enhances learning and discipline. Focused sessions are always more valuable than just practicing for hours without a clear purpose.
