Shanxi Drum and Gong Artists

Shanxi gongs and drums are known as "China's first drums" because of their rugged, plagiarized, majestic, and natural regional characteristics, which express the pure, straightforward, impassioned, and heroic feelings of the children of the Yellow River.

Over the past 30 years, Shanxi gong and drum artists have inherited the tradition, innovated and brought the gong and drum business to many corners of the world.
