types of drums pictures
Across the world, cultures carve drums out of wood, sculpt them out of clay, hammer them out of metal, or mold them out of plastic. The kinds of drums that exist vary as infinitely as the people who use them for communication, ritual, or entertainment. A common, easy way to classify drums types is by their shape. Most drums fall into the following categories: cylindrical, barrel, conga, waisted, goblet, or bowl. A frame drum, with its squat hoop, and a long drum, which is thin and tall, are both the cylindrical variety.
