Musical instruments that produce sound by being struck or, less often, scraped, shaken, or plucked. In more formal classifications of musical instruments, they are usually divided between membranophones (drums which have a vibrating skin) and idiophones, with both categories including instruments of definite as well as indefinite pitch.

the drums, bells, and other fascinating paraphernalia that are struck, plucked, rubbed, etc. This includes the timpani, the harp, and, on occasion, the piano. Some works use lots of different percussion; others may have a single musician playing the timpani, or no percussion at all. The percussion section is also found at, or near, the back of the orchestra.
