tidedrums

Tidedrums are a type of drum kit that is designed to be played while standing in water. The concept was popularized by the band The Tide in the 1980s, who used tidedrums to create a unique sound and visual effect. The drums are typically placed in a shallow pool or a large container of water, and the player stands in the water while playing. The water can affect the sound of the drums, creating a dampened, resonant tone. Tidedrums have been used in various genres of music, including rock, pop, and electronic music. They are also used in performance art and theater to create a dramatic effect. The use of tidedrums requires a certain level of skill and practice, as the player must maintain balance and control while playing the drums. Despite their unconventional nature, tidedrums have become a popular and distinctive element in the world of music and performance art.
