Percussion Workshop is a brand of hand percussion instruments that are manufactured by Drum Workshop. The brand's products are designed to be very accessible, affordable, and provide the player with an extensive selection of sounds to choose from. The brand was founded in 2004 by Chris Saltman, a seasoned percussionist and teacher who had been performing for over 30 years. His goal was to produce a range of instruments that was easy to play and would be a good fit for beginning drummers. In addition to introducing students to hand percussion, he also wanted to include drummers who have been playing for a while because, "the more you do something, the better you get at it." Percussion Workshop hand percussion kits consist of a drumstick holder, a pedal, a drumhead, and two sticks. They also offer two pedals: one for bass drum and one for hi-hat. The company offers a variety of sizes in their kits but one size is consistently available: eight inches in diameter.
