World percussion for brass bands
Brass bands today use many percussion instruments from all over the world. Above all drums from South America and the Caribbean, like Congas and Bongos, were played in nearly every brass band, as they have a modern repertoire including swing, pop, rock and world music, where these drums play a dominant role.
As with every other instrument in the brass band it is important to develop the correct playing technique and to learn how to tune your congas, bongos and other percussion instruments properly. Do you know, that you can play up to 8 different tones on a conga drum?
