Join us for this special guided tour: Percussion instruments, especially drums, have been an almost ubiquitous part of the human experience, from war snares to the heart of a powwow to street buckets and a modern trap kit. Looking at the different percussion instruments we have on display at the museum, we can compare and contrast their cultural uses and importance to inform the place of percussion in the greater global culture.
