A percussion set is a collection of musical instruments that produce sound when struck, shaken, or scraped. Common instruments in a percussion set include drums, cymbals, tambourines, and maracas. These instruments can be played individually or together to create rhythm and enhance musical compositions. Percussion sets are essential in various music genres, including rock, jazz, and classical. They provide the backbone of rhythm in a band or orchestra, helping to keep time and add texture to the music. Percussionists often use a variety of techniques and sticks to achieve different sounds and effects.
