Drums / Percussion

Percussion instruments are instruments that are struck or beaten in some way. While these instruments are used to keep rhythm, many are also used to play melodies, harmonies, and to add special effects. Even though they aren't really percussion, whistles and sirens are often used by percussionists for such effects.

There's a certain groove you pick that makes the music flow, and when you have it it's in your pocket. It's the feeling behind the rhythm. To me, the hardest thing to strive for is that feeling behind the groove."
