PP World Multi Percussion Set with dvd

Product Description

A full spread of hand percussion in one bag: bells, egg shakers, castanets, claves, tambourine, triangle, agogos and more, plus a play-along DVD. The multi-pocketed nylon holdall keeps everything tidy and together between sessions, so the whole set is quick to hand out and quick to pack away.

This is the pack for when you need a lot of different sounds at once rather than one good instrument. In a classroom, a music group or a living room where several people want to play at the same time, breadth is what counts: everyone gets something in their hands and nobody has to wait for a turn.

Plenty of sounds, no prior experience needed

These instruments give results immediately. Shake, strike, scrape or rattle, and there is your sound — nothing to tune and no technique to master first. The contrast between the dry hiss of an egg shaker, the hard click of claves and the bright ring of a triangle also makes it easy to talk about timbre and pulse without anyone needing to read music.

The DVD gives you something to play to

The play-along DVD is often what makes a session actually happen. Instead of inventing exercises from scratch, there is something to follow, which lowers the barrier considerably both in a group and at home in front of the television.

The bag is half the point

Small percussion has a habit of scattering and disappearing, especially once a lot of hands have been involved. Here everything lives in a nylon holdall with several pockets, and you notice the difference next time: the triangle beater is where you left it, nothing has rolled under a bench, and the whole set travels in one hand.

Who it works for

A good choice for music teachers, nurseries, choirs and group leaders who want a ready-made set to hand round, and just as useful at home when several people want to play together. It is not meant as stage percussion for professional use — the strength here is the range of sounds and having everything to hand when the group is ready to start.

Our Tips

• Give the wrist bells and egg shakers to players who are still finding the beat, and the claves or tone blocks to whoever is holding the pulse.
• Wrist bells work just as well around an ankle, which turns movement and rhythm into the same thing.
• Let the DVD lead the first session so you are not holding the group and the rhythm together at once.
• Put everything back in its pocket straight after playing. It takes a minute and saves ten the next time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a DVD player?

Yes, the play-along disc needs a DVD player or a computer with a DVD drive. The instruments themselves work perfectly well without it.

Are the instruments tuned?

No, this is untuned percussion. The triangle, agogos and tone blocks all sit at clearly different pitches, but the set is not intended for playing melodies.

Is it enough for a whole group?

The pack holds twelve different instruments, several of them in multiples. That goes a long way in a smaller group; for a full class playing at once you would either add a second pack or rotate the instruments between songs.

Does everything fit back in the bag?

Yes. The holdall is made for this set and has several pockets, so each instrument has its own place.
