• Cash, ride, china, splash cymbals and high hat are available, but most drummers bring their own cymbals.
• We also have quite a few hand percussion instruments, like a variety of shakers, small hand drums, tambourines, cabasas, cowbells, and wind chimes, and a lot of little percussive noisemakers that don't really have names. There's a great big rain stick, and angklung from Indonesia, and a temple gong from Bali. We've got a Guiro, Morroccan clay drums, a singing bowl, a kalimba and an mbira. And did I mention, MORE COWBELLS! I even keep around some odd household items that make cool noises! Oh, yeah... and a complete set of hand bells!
