Typical specs include Rainstick – 40cm, bamboo, painted; Ocean Drum – 8in (20cm) diameter, natural; Clapsticks (Claves) – 23cm; and Chime Bar – 1 note, stainless for clear tone and simple setup, and easy to store in class baskets.

World Percussion supports inclusive, entry-level music making across all stages. Build skills with Hand Percussion that is simple to set up and teach. Use Rainstick – 60cm, bamboo, painted for texture, and Ocean Drum – 12in (30cm) diameter, natural for soundscapes. Add Guiro Shaker – Large – 30cm for rhythm patterns and Thunder Drum – 4in diameter, 15cm high, bamboo for dramatic effects. Mix with chime bars and clappers to layer steady pulse.

For quick roll-out, choose World Percussion Sets and store by activity in baskets. Rotate instruments for call-and-response, ostinatos, and ensemble games. Early Years Percussion encourages grip, pulse and turn-taking; Primary classes build ensemble balance; Secondary groups arrange parts; SEND learners benefit from predictable, tactile feedback. Wipe natural skins after use. Keep bamboo dry and away from radiators. Label bagged items for rapid classroom reset.
