Recommended by Percussion Team! The World of Percussion!

Percussion is the origin of music, and there is such a wide range of varieties of instruments.
Each instrument has a different tone and produces an appealing sound unique to that instrument, so there are many recommended products for those seeking a unique sound!
I would like to introduce some of the most unique and recommended percussion instruments, along with my personal recommendations.

01. Cajón

The cajón is a very popular percussion instrument.
It originated in Peru and it was used in flamenco, but is now used in a very wide range of music.
It is often used in combination with brush mallets, cymbals, maracas, etc., depending on the song, and there are various ways to play it depending on the genre of music.

SELA CAJON / SE 010

This is the Casela Pro Series SE 010 from SELA Cajón. It is a cajón that makes it easy to produce the traditional Peruvian cajón sound by removing the resonating wire for the snare sound and by having a switch on the side to turn the snare sound on and off. The unique specifications of the SELA CAJON with its full functionality can be recommended to everyone!

02. Brazilian Musical Instruments

These are instruments used in samba and other music such as Surdo and Hepiniki. In recent years, many songs incorporate elements of Latin music, which has also been attracting attention in Japan, and this instrument is recommended when incorporating Brazilian elements.

LP ( Latin Percussion ) / LP3120

This is an aluminum Brazilian Surdo. The most attractive feature is that it comes with legs! In addition to the fact that it does not need to be lowered from the shoulder, which puts far less stress on the body, the legs allow it to be incorporated into a drum set! I recommend this one for adding samba and other Brazilian tones!

03. Djembe

The djembe is the king of percussion.
Originating in West Africa, the djembe is a musical instrument played between the thighs of both feet.
There is a wide variety of models, from the traditional model with a uniquely shaped head made of goatskin to an easy-to-tune model with a synthetic head secured with a hoop.

REMO / DJ-0012-PM

Japan is a country with four attractive seasons! This product is a djembe with a body made of Acousticon fiber, which is resistant to temperature changes! This one is also a popular model, and the kente cloth pattern is sure to catch the audience’s eyes on stage!

04. Kalimba

The kalimba, also known as a "hand music box," is a charming instrument with a soothing, high-pitched, gentle sound.
It is a simple instrument that can be played with the thumb and is easy for both children and adults to play, so it is recommended for small performances at events. There is a wide range of designs to choose from, and we are sure you will find something you like!

SELA CAJON / SE 245

This 17-note model is one of the easiest kalimbas to handle, with a C major scale and sparkling stars, and is recommended for children.
The hollow body made of high-quality mahogany wood is attractive, and this authentic model comes with a tuning hammer and a case, so it can be used for a long time.

05. Mallet Percussion (Marimba/ Xylophone)

Mallet Percussion is a general term for percussion instruments with wooden soundboards, such as marimbas and xylophones, which are essential to classical music. Because of their warm sound, xylophones are also used as educational instruments and are available in a wide range of prices.

Mtech by Malletech / MMT4.3 Marimba

This is an easy-to-handle model among authentic marimbas with 4.3 octaves and a small soundboard. By using the highest quality African paduk, this high-quality model inherits the tone of higher-end models. The height-adjustable frame allows for stress-free playing.

PLAYTECH / PXL300 Xylophone 37 notes

This is an educational xylophone. The 37-note soundboard is made of high-quality wood and has a gentle, light tone.
This easy-to-use model comes with mallets, a stand, and carrying bag.

06. Hand Pan

The handpan is a hand percussion instrument made of metal with soothing warm overtones; it has a special UFO-like shape and a distinctive appearance. You can choose your favorite scale, and this instrument is suitable for a wide range of musical genres. Unlike steel pans, it can be easily played by hand.

PRIMA Handpan / C3Aegean9

The PRIMA Handpan is of high quality at an affordable price. They also come with a backpack-type hard case for easy carrying, both of which are very popular models. The C3Aegean9 is a scale handpan that can be used to play a variety of music, and I recommend this model.

How was it? There are many types of instruments used in percussion for many different scenarios. If you find one that appeals to you, why not take this opportunity to start playing percussion?
