I had about life in the Bronze Age (2000 - 700 BC), I seriously doubt that I had thought of using the skin of an alligator of a drum. Actually, I think I could have avoided, even anywhere near alligators whole. Fortunately for the Chinese culture, the ancient Chinese apparently do not share my fears. The battery first known in China before four days six thousand years, around the time of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 - c.1100 BC) and wereclay and (you guessed it) crocodile skin. Thanks to this innovative early on, China has a long and proud tradition of using drums and other percussion instruments in their original music.

Chinese drums have a long way since the first instruments of the Shang dynasty. Are incorporated into many aspects of society over the centuries, including religion, agriculture, war, and of course entertainment. In China the color red is always associated withThe power and happiness, and therefore red drums were used as a symbol and bearer of power to governments and armies. These instruments are still used in ceremonies such as weddings and other festivities.

China is usually with drums bring the nations of Korea and Japan won. The famous Japanese taiko drums, for example, believed that the result of Chinese influence is very early. The same can be said of the Korean and Japanese Galgo Kakko, both of hourglassDrums went thought the Chinese Jiegu. Interestingly, no more, but this drum is used in China for their families, who can still be seen and heard in both Korea and Japan.

In modern China, battery commonly used in the most trivial ideas, which are often a dramatic effect. At no time was this more evident than in the recent Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony, which is characterized by several synchronized drummers an amazing performance of drums and artistic achievement. Nonenoted that the ceremony can doubt the importance of drums in the Chinese culture.

When we visited the power of a modern Chinese orchestra, are required to be drums as evidence. The paigu is a set of seven small, tuned drums, and is often used in professional band. Other percussion instruments, including drums of all pitches and sizes, are also common. Another place to see and hear traditional drums in China is a lion dance, a form of traditional dance courseperformers dressed as lions and imitate the movements of animals. Such dances can be performed in ways north and south, the first being the traditional imperial style, with the second, just for fun. However, both the use and Drum music during the event. The lion dance also has close relations with the martial art of Kung Fu, which means that the battery often during the performance of the martial arts as well as used. The music of drums to any of thesePerformances are powerful and important, in accordance with the dancers and artists of the movement.
