Answer 1

You may have seen African drumming either in drum circles, street performers, or on television. If you thought that looked like something you'd like to try, then this is the lesson for you! Drumming is one of the oldest forms of music, allowing you to make a drum out of any surface you can strike with your hand or with another object - even your own chest. Let's look at some of the most commonly known drums from Africa, then learn a little about how to use them. Don't worry, you won't need to own a drum just yet. You can use a tabletop, your desk, or even a cardboard box to get started.
