Drums for Sale
A drum is a most popular musical instrument in the Western culture that belongs to the family of percussion-based instruments. A drum has at least one membrane or drumhead that a player struck with a stick. The player uses his hands to directly strike the drum to produce a sound. Under the drum, there is a resonance head that is tuned to a lower pitch. Drums can be played by individuals either individually or in a group; however, the typical design of a drum has remained the same over the past thousand years.
Drums are also played with cymbals that are extra drums in a drum set. A variety of wooden sticks are used by the players to strike the drum set with or without padding. However, in addition to wooden sticks, brushes are also used by jazz drummers to produce a softer sound.

Drums have always been symbolic in many cultures and religions. Drums are also used to heal people with musical therapy. In the ancient times before the advent of tension rods, drums were tune with ropes. Ropes are extinct in modern drums. A drummer can easily produce several sounds depending on the construction and shape of drums. For instance, a jazz drummer often plays high-pitched drums. The sound of a drum is mostly determined by a drum head. The sound vibrates inside the drum shell; the shell with a greater diameter produces louder sound.
