Chinese Percussion Music

Especially in Chaozhou, Shanxi and Shaanxi percussion music and the development of percussion instruments have a very long history. Whenever people hear that typical sound and rhythm, they know it`s the Chaozhou Drums Music. This music includes the Big Drum and Gong, the Small Drum and Gong, the Dizi Set Drum and Gong and Su Drum and Gong Ensembles. So far, there is no accurate historical data to know how long the history of Chaozhou Drums Music is. However, in the form of the Drum and Wind Music of the Han and Tang Dynasties, in the making of brass gongs, we find similarities to the current Chaozhou Drums Music.In Shaanxi Province the Xian Drums Music is a traditional instrumental performance that has been preserved for generations among the people in the ancient city of Xian. The preservation of the musical tradition of the Tang and Song Dynasties is manifest. In the process of its development, it incorporated such as perfect blend of palace banquet music, religious music, music for the recitation of poetry, music of the local opera, that it acquired a classical, simple and elegant style as well as the local flavour. The Percussion Music of Northern Shanxi is a natural pure folk music, played by professional artists, really deserve to be acclaimed as an artistic treasury. And even today, based on the long history of Chinese Percussion Instruments, appreciated artists perform creative, experimental sounds in audiophile recording quality.
