The International (Qingdao) Percussion Performing Arts Center, established in the summer of 2021 in Qingdao's Shinan district, serves as a hub for fans of percussion music.
The center's band serves a global representative of young Chinese percussionists, showcasing their talents in countries like Japan, the United States, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Every year, the center hosts a national youth percussion performance and summer camp in Qingdao, featuring classes taught by experts. It also facilitates cultural exchanges by bringing in top professional performance teams from around the world to the Qingdao Concert Hall. These events contribute to public welfare initiatives and government charity events through professional performances.
Percussion music, a versatile genre utilizing instruments that produce sound through various techniques like striking and rubbing, requires a high level of rhythmic precision and physical coordination.
The jazz drum set exemplifies this complexity, challenging performers through the intricate use of their hands and feet. The passionate rhythms and free style of jazz drums attract a diverse audience, appealing to people of all ages.
