DRUM AND LYRE INSTRUMENTS – These are the instruments of a drum and lyre corps and the description of each instrument.
In the country, we typically see marching bands with drum and lyre corps giving off lively and loud sounds during celebrations like parades and festivals. The marching ensemble is composed of percussion instruments and a bell lyre section.
Typically, a marching band is composed of snare, tenor, bass drums, and cymbals. On standard, it has four to 48 members. The one who leads the band is called the conductor and he uses a conductor stick. With his every movement, the band follows.
The lyre section of the band is the one that creates a melody. The drum section is made of snare drums, multiple tenor drums, and bass drums. Sometimes, instruments like tambourines, woodblocks, triangles, and maracas are also added in this section.

- Snare Drum – played by striking wooden sticks on either side of the drumhead to create rhythm or various sounds.

- Bass Drum – it is played by using a heavy and covered mallet and each strike creates a low sound.
