There are a lot but here are some percussion instruments:
Vibraphones
Brass,woodwinds,string and percussions are the four families of musical instruments...The fifth one is the electric family, instruments that need electricity to amplify the sound (keyboards, Electric guitars, etc.)

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.
