How Percussion Sets the Mood of Music

Hi, I'm Scott Smith with Expert Village. Right now we're going to show how classical music can be affected by the sound of drums and the rhythm that creates a good rock rhythm. So on this keyboard I've got a whole drum set right in front of me. Bass drum, and snare. Now this is how they're played together sometimes. And a high hat.
