Acoustic drums are a type of percussion instrument made from wood or metal, producing sound through the vibration of drumheads. They typically consist of a bass drum, snare drum, tom-toms, and cymbals. Musicians play them using drumsticks, brushes, or mallets, creating a wide range of rhythms and dynamics. These drums are commonly used in various music genres, including rock, jazz, and pop. Unlike electronic drums, acoustic drums rely on physical sound production, making them popular for live performances and studio recordings. Their rich, natural sound is favored by many drummers for its expressive qualities.
