Perfect instrument for petite percussionists!
Bongos are an important part of the Afro-Cuban family of rhythm instruments. Normally held between the player's knees and played with the fingertips, this Remo bongo set produces a high-pitched sound that can be clearly heard over the other instruments. Like many hand drums and percussion instruments from around the world, the sound of the bongo is different when played at the edge of the head and the middle of the head. Bongo players combine these sounds and rhythms between the high and low bongo drums to create patterns that other players and listeners can easily recognize. This pretuned drum design for kids features an attractive rain forest motif. Dimensions of the Remo Kid's Percussion Rain Forest Bongo set are 5" x 6-1/2" and 6" x 6-1/2".
