How hard is it to pass by a drum and not hit it? Hard. Really hard. Maybe impossible for kids. A percussionist’s instruments are everywhere. Here’s some evidence:

I highly recommend taking up a percussion instrument to hone your rhythm chops. Maybe just a pair of shakers, maybe bongos, congas, or a djembe (Pro Tip: don’t choose an instrument if it’s labeled as “home decor”).

They’re  all fun and useful. Perform the rhythms from your main instrument on a percussion instrument when you need a break.
