Pitched percussion instruments include examples such as the xylophone, or the glockenspiel, both of which of defined note values that you hit. That is, you can play a "C", "D", "E" etc on a glockenspiel or xylophone, but you do not have partiulcar notes for, say, a drumkit or cymbal set. These are unpitched.

The quick way to know if an instrument is pitched is to find out if you are hitting a particular note, or set of notes on the instrument. If you are, it's pitched. If not, it's unpitched.
