DRUMS

Bongos (Spanish: bongó) are an Afro-Cuban percussion instrument consisting of a pair of small
open bottomed drums of different sizes. In Spanish the larger drum is called the hembra (female)
and the smaller the macho (male). Together with the conga or tumbadora, and to a lesser extent
the batá drum, bongos are the most widespread Cuban hand drums, being commonly played in
genres such as son cubano, salsa and Afro-Cuban jazz.[1] A bongo drummer is known as a bongoser

Tabla: You can play these Indian drums with the heels of your hands and your fingertips. The
small, wooden drum is called the tabla, and the larger, metal drum is called the dagga.

Pandeiro: A Brazilian instrument played with the fingers, thumbs, and palms on the head, along
with the fingers/thumbs on its platinelas (jingles).
A tambourine may or may not have heads, and it may or may not be tunable. A tambourine
can have single or double rows of jingles. There are many other similar drums from different
parts of the world.

AEROPHONES
BAGPIPE: Bagpipes are a class of aerophones, using a enclosed double-
reed fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a sack (a bag). It has a
fingered pipe called a chanter. The unfingered pipes are called drones and
produce pedal tones

BUGLE: An instrument of copper or brass, similar to the cornet, but higher

and more piercing in pitch. It is popular in natural form (all pitch control is
done by varying the player's embouchure) and it is used in military music.

the piccolo. The fife originated in medieval Europe and is often used in
military and marching bands. Someone who plays the fife is called a fifer.

HARMONICA: is a reed wind instrument used worldwide in many musical

genres, notably in blues and folk music. Harmonicas are played by using the
mouth (lips and tongue) to direct air into and out of one or more holes along a
mouthpiece. It is also known as mouth organ and French harp.
