1. Drums: Drums are percussion instruments that consist of a stretched membrane, usually made of animal skin or synthetic materials, mounted on a frame or shell. When the membrane is struck with drumsticks or hands, it vibrates and produces sound. Different types of drums include bass drums, snare drums, tom-toms, and bongos.
2. Tambourines: Tambourines are handheld percussion instruments that consist of a circular frame with a stretched membrane, usually made of goatskin or plastic. Small metal jingles or bells are attached to the frame, and when the tambourine is shaken or struck, the membrane vibrates and the jingles produce a jingling sound.
3. Frame drums: Frame drums are similar to tambourines, but they do not have jingles or bells attached. They consist of a circular frame with a stretched membrane, and when struck with the hands or fingers, they produce a deep, resonant sound.
4. Bodhráns: Bodhráns are traditional Irish frame drums that have a goatskin membrane stretched over a wooden frame. They are played by holding the drum in one hand and using a wooden beater called a tipper to strike the membrane.
5. Djembes: Djembes are West African goblet-shaped drums that have a goatskin membrane stretched over a wooden body. They are played by hand, and the different parts of the drum produce different sounds.
6. Congas: Congas are Afro-Cuban drums that consist of a series of barrel-shaped drums with goatskin membranes. They are played by hand, and the different drums produce different pitches.
7. Bongos: Bongos are a pair of small, hand-held drums that are popular in Latin American music. They have goatskin membranes and are played by hand, producing high-pitched sounds.
8. Talking drums: Talking drums are African drums that are used to produce tonal languages. They have a stretched membrane and a tension cord that can be squeezed or loosened to change the pitch of the sound.
