Percussion

purpose


In most orchestras, bands, ensembles, whatever, the percussion section establishes the beat of a song. It also adds a kind of "feel" to the beat. Like, for example, the bass drum. The sound of the base drum is lost because the other instruments overpower it so instead, you kind of "feel" the bass drum rather then hear it.
