What is percussion?
Percussion refers to a family of musical instruments that produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped. Unlike instruments such as the guitar or piano, which produce sound through strings or keys, percussion instruments create noise through vibration when hit or rubbed.
There are two main types of percussion instruments: unpitched and pitched.
Unpitched percussion, like drums and cymbals, make sounds without a definite musical note, while pitched percussion, like xylophones or chimes, produce specific notes.
Percussion is one of the oldest and most universal forms of music-making, and it plays an essential role in rhythm and groove.
