Beat and rhythm can be a non-spoken language for people worldwide. Unlike orchestral music, percussion instruments have very low requirements for instruments – you can play them with almost any object, or even just your limbs to create some very interesting beats. This characteristic makes percussion instruments very popular. Each region has its own representative percussion rhythm, and rhythm is also very practical in conveying emotions.
Though percussion music alone might be raw and elemental, it creates a concrete structure in music. It can be perceived both musically and physically. You can listen to it, dance to it and just feel it.
