Percussion- What is a Percussion Instrument
Instruments that make a sound when struck by another object fall into this category. Their sound comes from striking, scraping, shaking or any other action that sets off a vibration. Percussion is a term generally used to describe an object in a musical sense and rhythmic context. This type of musical device was probably one of the first musical instruments after the human voice. Early percussion instruments included feet, hand, and later sticks and rocks. These instruments not only provide rhythm but can also add harmony or melody to a song when played.
Many of these instruments are hand-held like a shaker, a tambourine or a triangle. Percussion instruments come in a variety of materials including wood, metal or plastic. Two types of shakers exist. The first is filled with beads or bits of plastic and then there are those that use jingles, which are small discs of metal that tape together when shaken. Cowbells also fall into this category. They are any type of hand-held bells that are hit with the fingers, wood or metal. A triangle is a triangular shaped piece of steel that when hit with a steel stick makes a sound.
Drums fall into this musical category. They fall into the percussion group membranophones because drums consist of one membrane called the drum skin. Many factors determine how a drum sounds. The construction of the drum shell, the type of drumhead, shape and tension on drum skins can all influence the sound and pitch. Shell thickness helps determine the volume of a drum. Thicker drum shells produce a louder sound. Drum players strike the drum skin with either their hands or drumsticks to produce music. Musicians can combine different types of drums to make a drum kit and produce a variety of sounds.
The piano makes a variety of sounds because the hammers strike strings. For this reason, the piano is one of the largest percussion instruments. Other music makers such as the xylophone and keyboards also require striking to make sound and fall into this category. Scrapers are small, usually wooden, instruments that make a sound by scraping the raised ridges with a stick or comb. Washboards are another type of scraper. They are rectangular and with metal ridges that make sound when brushed with a whiskbroom or metal thimbles. Whether shaken, struck or scraped, percussion instruments can add rhythm to any type of music.
