a drum stick, mallet, and A STICK
You can play percussion instruments with sticks, brushes, rods or play with your hands.
The three primary types of musical instruments are strings, wind, and percussion. String instruments, like violins and guitars, produce sound through vibrating strings. Wind instruments, such as flutes and trumpets, create sound when air is blown into or across them. Percussion instruments, like drums and tambourines, generate sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped.
Actually there are four types of musical instruments: String Family Brass Family Woodwind Family Percussion Family Because the Brass and the Woodwind families are blown to work they can be regarded as the Wind Family of the instruments. Therefore if you want to divide the instruments into three: Strings, Winds, Percussion
Most Tama percussion instruments have a 1 to 2 years warranty period. One can purchase longer warranties on all their products for three or five years.
In addition to the strings, the three other families of instruments found in the orchestra are woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Woodwinds include instruments like the flute, clarinet, and oboe, which produce sound by air flowing through them. Brass instruments, such as the trumpet and trombone, create sound through the buzzing of lips in a mouthpiece. Percussion instruments, including drums and cymbals, generate sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped.
Three unpitched percussion instruments are the snare drum, tambourine, and cymbals. These instruments produce sound through the striking, shaking, or scraping of their surfaces, without producing a definite pitch. They are commonly used in various musical genres to provide rhythm and texture.

Many mallet percussion instruments, like the bells, xylo, etc. are pitched. The timp is also pitched, and you have to tune that one. The piano is also a pitched percussion instrument. Many people think that the piano is not a percussion instrument, and that it is a string instrument. This is wrong. The piano uses a type of mallet that hits the pitched piano strings making it a percussion instrument. The harpsichord is like a piano, but uses plucking to strike the strings, making it a string instrument. Actually tom toms are tuned to the preference of the artist, however they are not required to be played at a certain pitch.
The four instruments that are in the Orchestra are Bass, Cello, Violin, and Viola. All four are in the Strings section. The other three sections are: Brass, Woodwinds and Percussion. Two instruments in each would be: Strings: Violin & Cello Brass: Trumpet & French Horn (also Trombone and Tuba) Woodwinds: Flute & Clarinet (also Oboe, English Horn and Bassoon) Percussion: Snare, Tympany (plus a variety of other percussion instruments.
A kettledrum (or timpani) is a type of percussion instrument called a membranophone, because it sounds by a vibrating membrane. Clarinets and oboes are woodwinds, and sound by vibrating reeds.
