Percussion
1,060 in this category...A percussion instrument is any instrument which produces a sound via an action which causes the object to vibrate such as when rubbed, scraped, shaken, or struck.
Percussion instruments are classified dependant on their construction, ethnic origin, their orchestration, or use within musical theory. Percussion instruments are often described as either "pitched" or "unpitched"; however, it is more accurate to classify them under the following:
The
idiophones, such as cymbals, the marimba, singing bowels, or blocks & sticks.
The
chordophones, such as the
keyboard/piano or
hammered dulcimer/santoor. The santoor is also a
string instrument.
The
membranophones are primarily drums such as the
doumbek,
tabla,
tupan, or
timbale.
The
aerophones, such as the whip or siren may be used in a percussion contex. However, most aerophones are
wind instruments.
The
electrophones, such as computers and various
MIDI instruments. These qualify as percussion because they utilitize a
speaker to push air, creating soundwaves.
