Percussion instruments, also known as "percussion instruments", refer to the sound produced by tapping the instrument itself.

In the band, the drummer holds the important links such as the speed and rhythm of the music, especially in jazz, the drummer especially needs to maintain good cooperation with other musicians, for example, the drummer's neatness plays a decisive role in "cutting".

Wipe the drum parts before loading. Such as sweat, water, beer or other liquids can shorten the drum life. The oil from the hands will corrode the surface of the cymbals and make them lose luster. When loading or disassembling drums, just wipe them with a towel, which can protect them. Check all parts to ensure that they are in good condition. It is necessary to replace the cymbal pad from time to time to ensure that the screws fixing the cymbal can be screwed on the cymbal frame well.

The cymbal rack and the pedal of the hammer should be lubricated at intervals to keep them in good motion. If some springs make a harsh "squeak" sound, replace them.
