The majority of cymbals are of indefinite pitch, although some smaller cymbals, such as crotales, that are based on ancient designs do have a definite pitch.
A pitched percussion instrument play numerous pitches (i.e. xylophone), while nonpitched percussion instruments play one pitch (i.e. snare drum).
The recorder is considered a non-pitched instrument in the traditional sense because it does not produce a specific pitch when played alone; its sound can vary based on technique and breath control. However, it does produce distinct pitches when played with proper fingering, making it capable of playing melodies. Therefore, while it can create specific notes, it is mainly classified as a non-pitched instrument in terms of its inherent qualities.

A transposing instrument is a musical instrument that sounds at a different pitch than the written music. This means that the notes written on the sheet music do not match the actual sounds produced by the instrument. In contrast, a non-transposing instrument plays the notes as written on the sheet music, with no pitch adjustment.
Non-pitched percussion instruments are used for a few reasons, providing a beat and a cool backbone to the song. Pitched percussion instruments are usually used for harmony or the melody of a song, they don't have that backbeat that a snare or a bass has, and a snare and a bass don't have the melody to the song, such as a Marimba would.
This is one in which variations in pitch can not be made. An example is the maracas.
