Percussion isn't just the oldest type of musical instrument - it's also the one with the lowest barrier to entry for inventors. Just about any object that's durable enough can become a percussion instrument in its own right, and people have been using that to their advantage for centuries. The result is that every culture on the planet has developed its own unique percussion, making for a nearly endless variety of different instruments to choose from. And if you want to build an instant collection drawn from that variety, you've come to the right place: with these world percussion sets, you can bring home a full suite of unique instruments with just a few clicks.

Choosing your world percussion set isn't hard - all you have to do is decide what sort of instruments you'd like to play and how you want to play them. For example, are you a rock or pop drummer looking for a few rack or stand-mountable percussion accents to add to your kit? In that case, check out the LP Mike Portnoy Percussion Kit or the RhythmTech Drum Kit Pack, each of which includes a cowbell and tambourine designed for mounting to a larger drum set.

On the other hand, if you'd like to experiment with handheld percussion, Latin styles or simply a wider variety of different sounds, one of the other world percussion sets might be the way to go. For instance, there's the Nino Rhythm Set 15-Piece for a broad sampling of handheld percussion. Or, when you'd like a diverse and well-rounded selection of instruments, try the LP Instant Percussion Pack on for size: not only does it include a tambourine, cowbell and block for your drum set; there's also a pair of congas, bongos, an assortment of hand percussion and even a backpack to carry it all.

There's only one thing better than percussion, and that's more percussion! If those are the words you live by, then this lineup of world percussion sets is a great place to be. That's partly because of the sheer variety of percussion sounds represented here, and partly because of how many pieces are included in each set, giving you a lot to try out! So whether you're an experienced drummer looking for something new or a brand-new percussionist interested in exploring the possibilities right out of the gate, you'll find a way right here to make it happen.
