What do you think that the best hand percussion instruments in the world are? Hand percussion instruments are the most used musical instruments in the world. There are many genres of hand percussion. My opinion is that all types of percussion instrument are best in its own way, depending on our personal point of view. For instance, the African and European may consider Cajon drum as the best hand percussion. This statement doesn’t work for the American and Asian, because they see Djembe as the best musical instrument. They judge it according to their own point of views.

In order to make you have a clear understanding of my writing, I would explain first how I categorize the bellows musical instruments as the best hand percussions in the world. I name them as the best hand drums by judging from the numbers of people using these instruments. I choose the percussion instruments which are mostly used by the present musicians from different parts of the world such as Cajon, Hand drum, djembe, Darbuka, Congas, African drum, and Tambourines. The bellows are the instruments that have been well-known to the worldwide range.
Do you know what Cajon drum is? This instrument is said to be originated from one of the famous country in South America namely Peru. During the colonialism of Spaniards, the Peruvian slaves were strictly prohibited to play musical instruments. In order to trick the Spaniards, they then decided to mold box-shaped instruments which appeared to be a sitting place. This instrument was first made out of unused woods. The formulated it in such a way to become an instrument and at the same time to be a place where they could have a sit. Lately, they named this instrument as Cajon which literally means box from the Spanish word. Years later, this instrument gets involved, and as of now, this Cajon drum has been very popular in the whole world. Almost every country, we can find this hand drum. Most of the contemporary musicians prefer to collaborate with this box-shaped instrument with other musical instruments such as organ, guitar, and drums. Until today, Cajon has become the most used hand percussion in the world.
