| | PERCUSSION FAQS |
| | Some percussion instruments (including drum sets) can be found in concert bands, marching bands, jazz bands and orchestras. | | | Usually a concert band has 2 or 3, but there can be as many as 5. | | | Finally, though we shall deal with percussion instruments and keyboard percussion instruments separately, beginning percussionists in the concert band have to learn both simultaneously (thus the beginning player has to learn complicated snare drum patterns, the bass drum and usually orchestra bells). |

| | Caribbean Percussion Traditions |
| | In Miami Vodou percussion is used not only in ceremonies but in the staged presentations of misik rasin (roots music) bands and folkloric troupes. | | | Steelbands also include a drum set, pieces of iron played with metal strikers and other percussion instruments. | | | Their sounds constitute complex musical languages which, though often immediately appealing to outsiders, require years to fully learn and understand. |
