Rhythm! Discovery Center

The first thing visitors hear when they step into Rhythm! Discovery Center is the sound of a beating heart. It's an appropriate introduction to the center, which believes rhythm and music are tied directly to the human experience. Across its four main halls, exhibits showcase percussion and its role in world cultures, starting with the evolution of drums from animal membranes, wood, and finally into metal These aren't typical museum exhibits, however; they're interactive experiences. Visitors can strike an eight-foot gong drum, feeling its vibration shake through their bodies and the marshmallows stuffed between their cheeks. More than 150 globally sourced instruments––such as African talking drums and ocean drums––create a thunderstorm within the interactive area. An extension of the Percussive Arts Society, Rhythm! Discovery Center often hosts college and professional performances within its acoustically sound confines. They also maintain a wealth of percussion information online, but ask that virtual visitors refrain from hitting their computer with a mallet.
