Teambuilding drum circles

The role of the percussionist in popular music has transformed dramatically during recent years from a simple sideman position to a full-fledged soloist. It has become increasingly common for percussionists to play along with DJs as well as pop artists. For this reason, today’s modern percussionist is required to have a multitude of skills and plenty of knowledge in order to create interesting sounds capes and influence the dynamic flow of a song.
