Bongos + Drum Set | Season Four, Episode 49

The modern drum set is still an ever evolving collection of percussion instruments where few, if any, rules exist. Integrating hand percussion into the drum set can be a fun way to add some fresh sounds and draw new inspiration. One of the most cost effective ways to do that is to set up a pair of bongos with your drums. In this episode we’ll cover placement/mounting, various forms of performance with sticks/mallets/broomsticks/hands, important things to watch out for, and more!
