“Good Fences Make Good Neighbours”- Robert Frost This phrase was first used in 1914 in a poem called The Mending Wall by Robert Frost. This paradox has become a proverb which essentially means that “People live more harmoniously when there are clear boundaries between their properties and lives”. There are‚ however‚ many different opinions on the truth of this proverb. Does separation and the creation of boundaries really keep the peace and make people better neighbours or do the boundaries we place

Dating back to the slave trade the drum has been used all over the world as a means of communication and self expression. Its broad variety of users includes the early African tribes and the Native Alaskan tribes‚ both using them for ceremonial purposes. The Africans brought drums with them to the Americas and helped to develop their popularity among American musicians. In the mid 1900’s drum sets were brought about.

The drum can be played by striking it with a drumstick or any other form of beater‚ including brushes‚ route and hands‚ all of which produce a softer-sounding vibration from the snare wires. When using a stick‚ the drummer may strike the head of the drum‚ the rim counterhoop‚ or the shell. When the top head is struck‚ the bottom head vibrates in tandem‚ which in turn stimulates the snares and produces a clicking sound. The snares can be thrown off disengaged with a lever on the strainer so that the
