I think we're ignoring the bigger question: what kinda music DOESN"T have drums? like, literally EVERY FORM OF MUSIC uses drums, or some machine playing back a drum beat.
Classical music doesn’t necessarily have drums. It might have some percussion but they’re not as prominent as with a lot of pop music.
Acapella
So barber shop is the lord's music then. Hmmm
String quartets? A cappella?
Church hymns
Ambient and some styles of classical music come to mind.
Umm, no.
Lots and lots and lots and lots (repeat ad infinitum) of music has no drums.
I'd say that most forms of music have some kind of rhythm instrument, often those are some form of percussion instrument.
I've definitely heard some experimental stuff that didn't use any form of rhythm instruments. Then again, you can just record the ambient sound of a city and call that music, so to each their own.
A cappella
