Join us for this special guided tour: Percussion instruments,
especially drums, have been an almost ubiquitous part of the
human experience, from war snares to the heart of a powwow to
street buckets and a modern trap kit. Looking at the different
percussion instruments we have on display at the museum,
we can compare and contrast their cultural uses and
importance to inform the place of percussion
in the greater global culture.
