Basic Words for Drums?
The most frequently used instruments in music for mass market may be drums. Nearly every band in the business has someone on drums. The drum, or the general form of it, is a thick and very short pipe made of wood or metal, whose two ends are covered with animal skin or plastic, made tight with metal rings. The round cover over the upper end goes by the name of "head." give a blow with it to the head, you will be hearing a short and loud sound. There are drums in different sizes. The greatest one, played by a foot apparatus which gives a kick, makes the lowest sound. A number of different drums and cymbals, in addition, are played by one person. Cymbals are thin and round plates of metal which make a high, crushing sound. They are played by giving a blow with sticks, or by being crushed together. These instruments do not make harmony, and they do not give notes which make the line of a song. They are for dancing. They are for the rhythm. They are rhythm instruments. Notes
And also in a wider sense, it could be "percussion" and the player of rhythm instruments would be a "percussionist"(one who gives blows to an instrument). The kind of blows one gives to woodwind instruments would be an expansion of the basic sense of "blow" of the percussionist.
