There are 2 types of percussion, Idiophones and Membranophones

Idiophones are instruments that produce sound by the vibration of the instrument as a whole through hitting,shaking,friction,blowing,plucking and etc. So basically the instrument, as a whole, is the one vibrating and that produces the sound.

Membranophones on the other hand are instruments that produce sound using Stretched membranes, such as, Drum heads and animal skins through Hitting it. So basically, The Stretched membrane is the one vibrating on Membranophone instruments.
