PITCHED: flute,keyboard,violin,trumpet,double bass, cello, clarinet,piccolo,bassoon,harp. (any instrument that you can play different notes on) UNPITCHED:drums,tamtam,cymbals,triangles,tambourine,maracas,cowbell,timpani,timbales,marching drum.(any instrument that you cant play different notes on)
An unpitched percussion instrument are the maracas.
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.
