His bold white sneakers shining through the cracks of the drum set caught my eyes as he walked over to shake my hand.

As we sit down in the fluffy chairs surrounding the drum set, my nerves calmed into a…

Drums are musical instruments that give a sense of happiness and a sense of enjoyment. I have wanted to play drums since I was around 6 years old. I first saw them played on TV. I then found a greater interest when I saw them being played in church. I liked the base drum the most because of the big deep sound it has.

clarinet, saxophone, and a Bb Clarinet. He used the bass clarinet and the saxophone during his first piece, and the clarinet on the second piece. Kjell Nordeson was on the drum but had a lot of instruments with him. Sometimes he would play the drums as a drums set but sometimes he would put some sort of objects on top of the drum to create different sound effects. He also had a small glockenspiel and a flexatone. The concert hall was very simple, had a sound-reflecting…
