Percussion isn't just about drum kits and the bass drum player in your high school band. There's an entire world of exotic hand drums and other percussion instruments that add depth and breadth to any musical composition. And if you think hand drums are limited to bongos, Jeff Kersh's book will introduce you to doumbeks, djembes, congas and a wide variety of other excellent percussion instruments. With concise photographs that illustrate the techniques described in the book, Hand Percussion is a terrific resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about these interesting drums-and how to play them.
