The benefits of drumming

A drum kit is made up of a mix of percussion elements and that’s why is one of the preferred instrument of musicians given its attractive range of sounds. The learning process is pretty intuitive and also encourages some abilities really useful in the daily life, both physical (phychomotor, coordination, independence) and mental (memory, agility, reasoning), increasing cognitive and cardiovascular efficiency.

Some notable benefits of learning and playing drums:

– Encourages musical performance as a vehicle for emotional expression, helping the student to develop his own sensibility and artistic voice.

– Favors self-esteem and confidence through the quick achievements of the rhythmic learning and its performance

– Strengthens discipline and responsibility because the study rutines.

– Stimulates the production of endorphins which provide wellness, decreasing the stress levels via physical activity (cardiovascular exercise)
