It depends on your personal development position. I got started with traditional rhythms, and folk accompaniment is a big hobby of mine. Rhythm is everywhere, as long as you are willing to discover it, you can walk out of it.

1. If the traditional West African music is played, it must be an authentic African tambourine. The most authentic African tambourine is made of hard wood and is hollowed out without any splicing. It is just a piece of wood that is hollowed out and made into a drum. The big trend in the world now is to use other materials to replace wooden drums. These materials currently include fiberglass, PVC, and cardboard, and there are currently good examples of them. Drum skins are generally made of goatskin, and pure white goatskin has been chemically treated to give it a clean appearance. Conducive to promotion. There are also raw goatskins that have not been chemically treated, which are divided into hairy and non-hairy ones, and the appearance is relatively rough. It may feel dirty to some people, but the sound is good. If you can afford it, buy a drum handmade by West African indigenous people.

2. If it is for the accompaniment of pop music or folk songs, the requirements for drums are not very high, and low-end tambourines can also be played. REMO, LP, Meyer, etc. have low-priced tambourines. There are also many musicians in China making handmade African tambourines. My friend and I bought my drum. It is produced in Yunnan and uses Burmese mango wood. It is not inferior to those in Africa. The price is also moderate.

3. If you are interested and have the conditions, you can try Middle Eastern drums, cajon (cajon), and conga drums, which are also a lot of fun. Young people should try more and look for more opportunities to come into contact with different percussion instruments. Rhythm is everywhere. As long as you are willing, your body is also a cavity.

4. If you have any questions, continue to ask questions.
