"This is cool!" exclaims Peri Schmidtgen from the children's chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin - she is visiting the drummers Rüdiger Ruppert, Björn Matthiessen and Benedikt Leithner.
They don't hesitate and give an interesting insight into the world of orchestra percussions and drums: what does the sound of the ocean, thunderstorms, the clatter of horses, the roar of lions, the clinking of glasses, the beating of hearts and – which of the many instruments is the fastest and loudest?

In the feature series "Opera Instruments", our education program Junge Deutsche Oper as well as musicians of the Deutsche Oper Berlin present instruments of the opera orchestra. In addition to obvious questions about sound, type of playing or range of use, our junior editors also want to know quite different things from the instrumentalists.
