Unconventional Percussion Unconventional percussion is the use of ones hands, fingers, knuckles or feet which is not directly related to the use of a drum set. For example: If someone uses a trash can lid as a symbol and the trash can as the drum, he can "Bang" his hands on the trash can to make a beat and hit the lid with a stick to make a noise similar to a symbol. Unconventional percussion has been around since the beginning of music before drums were ever created. It does not have to directly refer to a certain beat however it can include simple rhythm and singing of a person or a group of people to create new music on the spot. Some organizations, such as the Assembly of God Christian association Fine Arts Festival has grown to allow unconventional percussion as a new category, along with many other categories such as regular percussion and piano. In my opinion, typical music can become repetitive and booring, whereas with unconventional percussion there is a new sound every time you hit a beat. And, you can make this sound anywhere: On your desk, in the office, or at school. Not everyone can play the conventional drum but everyone can play an unconventional percussion instrument.
