Drum Patterns

Acoustic

Acoustic drums use the vibration of a drumhead stretched across a wooden or metal shell. From tiny snare drums to massive bass drums, acoustic drums come in various shapes and sizes and can be played solo or as part of a full drum set. Rock, jazz, and classical music are only a few musical styles that incorporate them.
