The percussion instrument family features many interesting members, some of which have unique personalities that could help you produce beautiful music, if they match your own personality. While there’s no clear cut rule as to how you can choose the ideal percussion instrument depending on what you want to achieve with it, the following advice generally applies when it comes to finding the specific personality of each instrument:

Percussion instruments can sound direct and blunt, like the drums or timpani, or they can have a more melodious tone that can be used for poetic and sensitive songs – the best example being the piano.

There are many “in between” percussion instruments you can choose from as well. Some of these can include the xylophone, the marimba or the vibraphone. Their personalities is somewhat blunt, but they still have a very melodious and flowing tone as well. Search for an exceptional marimba online, as well as other unique percussion instruments at My Music Supply.

Finally, you can also consider members of the percussion family such as the bass drum. This impressive type of drum produces the lowest and most imposing sound, comparable with a gong, but at a much lower frequency. Instruments like bass drums, snare drums or gongs are typically simple in their design, yet extremely proud and capable of fitting in with a surprising variety of sounds and music.
