Percussion Instruments

93 instruments

Membranophones and idiophones — instruments sounded by striking, shaking, or scraping. Membranophones use a vibrating membrane (tabla, djembe, snare drum); idiophones are self-sounding bodies (xylophone, marimba, bells, castanets). Percussion is the oldest and most universal instrument family, present in every known musical culture.
