Not quite sure what you are asking here, but....

Percussion can be broken down into two families of instruments, the membranophones and the idiophones. the membranophones are the skinned drums. the idiophones are the rest of the percussion family, they use their bodies to make a sound, so are self-sounding (the meaning of idiophone).

Beyond these calsses, we can talk about the types of materials used to make idiophones

  • metal
  • glass
  • wood
  • bone
  • stone
  • plastic
  • vegetable - dried gourds (pumpkin and squash family) are used in a lot of instruments
