So, you like the idea of drumming, but where do you start and what kind of drum should you get? A million drums are out there from all over the world. Small ones, big ones, drums that are played in your lap, in your hand, on the floor, on the side, with a mallet, without a mallet. The list goes on and on.
I’ve reduced the list down to three of my favorites: the Djembe (West African), the Doumbek (Middle Eastern), and the Tubano (Remo invention). Watch the video to hear how they sound and see them in action.

The following comparison shows some main differences. Keep in mind that all drums sound different depending upon the type of head, the size, and the materials used. Plus, drums change their sound and tone as you play them over time. Drum maintenance, cleaning, and tuning is required of most drums as time goes by.
