About Blocks
Blocks are a simple but effective way to add texture and rhythmic accents to your percussion setup. Available in a range of styles and materials, they’re a staple for drummers, percussionists, and educators across many musical genres. Their sharp, defined tone makes them ideal for cutting through a mix, whether in live settings or studio recordings.
There are several types of blocks to choose from, each offering its own character. Woodblocks deliver a warm, traditional tone that works well in acoustic or orchestral environments. Temple blocks, typically arranged in sets, produce a series of tuned pitches often used for melodic or percussive phrases. Clave blocks mimic the bright, high-pitched sound of traditional claves but offer more durability and projection. Jam blocks, made from tough synthetic materials, are built for louder, more modern setups, while granite blocks offer a distinctive, dry tone suitable for layered rhythms.
Most blocks are made from wood, plastic, or durable synthetic materials, with each choice affecting the sound and durability. Many also feature built-in mounting brackets, allowing you to attach them to drum kits, percussion stands or multi-rods with ease. Their compact design makes them a practical option for expanding your sound without taking up much space.
Whether you're looking to add tonal variety, enhance your rhythm section, or just bring something new to your playing, blocks offer a reliable and flexible option with plenty of creative potential.
