Play the Drums - Body Percussion
Get ready to get up and play the drums. Wait, you don't have any drums with you at home? Not even one? Oh no!
Good news! You can use your body to play the drums! Sometimes at school we say that we're going to play "body percussion," when we snap our fingers, clap our hands, pat our knees, or stomp our feet. Get ready to pat along with the video and play the body percussion drums!
