Introducing the NEW Percussion Plus Slap Drumming for younger players - Gathering Drum

The new Slap Drumming range from Percussion Plus is the perfect way to introduce rhythm and time into your music classes and sessions. Whether it's for a large primary school class, sessions at a local music centre or music therapy for any age, the Slap Drumming range gives you the tools you need for smooth running lessons at any ability level.

The Slap Drumming Gathering Drum from Percussion Plus produces a big, booming sound and is lots of fun for anyone aged 5+. All materials and hardware have been produced to the highest standard - designed to withstand the trials of regular classroom use, whilst still producing a warm and powerful sound. A fun group activity, it is designed so 2 or 3 kids can gather around the drum (hence the name!) and explore its variety of sounds and tones.

Let's play together

With this gathering drum from Percussion Plus, you get a great looking high-quality instrument with an innovative 'how to play' guide printed on the drum skin. There are many different techniques used to produce tones on a djembe and any of these can be used on our djembes. The printed graphic on the head of the drum offers suggested hand positions for the three main tones on a djembe: slap, tone, and beat.

With this easy method, teaching and learning is simple and allows you to tailor your class to include visual as well as instructive and aural learners, providing an inclusive way into music making for all levels and abilities.

Fun look, vibrant sound

The colourful pattern wrapped around the drum gives a fun and exciting look, inviting young classes to learn and play. It has a lightweight body so is easily stored and transported and is supplied with two soft beaters. At 22" in diameter it is sizeable drum ensuring a booming bassy tone with enough space for 2 or 3 students to gather around the drum.

Although it is lightweight, the build quality is reassuringly sturdy and the sound is just as vibrant and powerful as its colourful patterned exterior!
