Drums produce notes.

Who the bloody hell voted no? :laughing:

You can create music with drums.

Therefore it is an instrument.

Aww shoot, I was told that they could be classified as either string or percussion. My music teacher lied to me :(.

They are both, I think. At least that's what I've always known.

Drums as a string instrument?
I'm not arguing, but how?

Strings are used on some drums to tighten or loosen them to get a different pitch.

But would I consider them a string instrument? Probably not........

I was talking about Pianos :p:

Oh.
Yeah, it's a string instrument and a percussion instrument.

I always thought keyboard instruments were a class of their own...
