Percussion instruments are those which require a mallet or hands to play or make a sound. Anything that has to clash together, like Cymbals, are also percussion instruments. Oddly enough, the Piano is also a percussion instrument, even though it uses strings ... but the strings are hit by a mechanical hammer, making a percussive sound. The Harp is also a member of the percussion family as its strings are plucked.
