A Warrior's Weapon

A perfect beat represents who we are and for thousands of years, drums represents a perfect beat. Whether if its a war, a battle, a distress call or even a warning, drums have proven to be the perfect instrument or shall I say the perfect weapon to show out one's true emotions. Even military uses their marching band to as an act of a battle music. During the English Civil War,snare drums were used by the junior officers to relay commands from their senior officers as a noise of battle. One of the oldest drums was called the Tiako Drum which created in 300 B.C by the Japanese but was introduced by the Koreans.

The foot operated bass drum was introduced by Ludwig or Ludwig.Co.The first drum kit was introduced by Ben Duncan in 1930's with other experiments on how to improvise drumming and arrangement of a bass drum, snare, high-hats and tom-tom's. During the ancient times, the tribal societies used drums as a celebration of victory and also to worship their God's. Its proven in all history and time that drum was the first instrument used as way to express one's feelings as well. But its not easy to play this magnificent instrument. It takes a lot of time and practice to get an individual timing and beat at precise right moment. Creativity helps to build a new drumming beat and also improve on the technique of solos we used in this new version of drums.

Great drummers such as Mike Portnoy Bill Bruford, and Neil Peart have shown great and awesome drumming in most genre's of music. Their skill and technique are remarkable and beautiful. They after all created drumming history. By doing the first drum solos, they were able to captivate many people and proved that drums aren't noise but a great instrument of music. Today no music is ever created without a beat, whether if its a percussion jemba to a bass. Without a beat there is no life in a music. The best way to put this instrument is that it represents a true warrior heart. The stronger he is the better the beat is going to be regardless if the drummer is literate, for a true warrior weapon is showing the powerful beats to taunt their enemies and to shake them fiercely.
