The woodblock drum belongs to the family of slit drums, which have their origin in Asian and Latin American music. The cuboid block made of beech wood is held in the hand and played with a mallet. Depending on which side you hit, you will hear a lighter or a darker tone.
The woodblock has a very clear and percussive sound. No special mental or physical abilities are required to play the woodblock drum. Therefore, it is suitable for all ages in all types of musical courses. Even the youngest can create great rhythms on the woodblock. Whether you are a beginner or already a more experienced musician - the drum invites you to try it out and improvise.
