Why did someone make percussion instruments?
Percussion instruments cover a large number of individual devices. Some of these you might not suspect are percussion instruments such as the piano and cymbals. To be a percussion instrument, the instrument needs to have some element which strikes. Of course drums fall into this category but so do xylophones, marimbas and those crazy rasping fish things that they have at school which nobody knows the name of. Percussion instruments such as the drums probably developed from signal drums used by our ancient ancestors. Other types such as marimbas and it's cousin the xylophone probably developed from wood blocks being hit together. A modern orchesteral percussionist gets to play lots of other non-percussion instruments as well these days, such as swanee whistles, hooters, and almost anything else which makes an odd (normally untuned) sound.
