Playing any type of musical instrument has beneficial effects on the nervous system, relieving stress and releasing endorphins, but the physical effort and the hitting movement required for playing percussion instruments makes the activity an even more efficient stress reliever. Here is why setting up your kids with a 5 piece kids drum set will decrease their stress levels and build their confidence in playing:

• -Transforming bad energy into good energy – stress causes tension, while playing a musical instrument releases tension, allowing the player to re-channel frustration and to transform into something that sound beautiful;
• -Lowered blood pressure and heart rate – any contact with music, whether it is through listening to it or through playing it, reduces the physical symptoms of stress, allowing not only the soul and the mind of the player to calm down, but the player’s body as well;
• -Improved resistance to stress – playing a percussion instrument has long-term benefits as well, improving the player’s ability to cope with stress and frustration in general;
• -Improved cognitive function – playing a musical instrument, especially a percussion instrument improves memory as well as general alertness and problem solving, making it a beneficial activity for anyone looking for the right frame of mind to cope with day to day stress more efficiently.
