Want this question answered?
A pitched percussion instrument play numerous pitches (i.e. xylophone), while nonpitched percussion instruments play one pitch (i.e. snare drum).
Timpani
Many mallet percussion instruments, like the bells, xylo, etc. are pitched. The timp is also pitched, and you have to tune that one. The piano is also a pitched percussion instrument. Many people think that the piano is not a percussion instrument, and that it is a string instrument. This is wrong. The piano uses a type of mallet that hits the pitched piano strings making it a percussion instrument. The harpsichord is like a piano, but uses plucking to strike the strings, making it a string instrument. Actually tom toms are tuned to the preference of the artist, however they are not required to be played at a certain pitch.
Timpani is the lowest i can think of. :)

An instrument that doesn't have different pitched notes, such as un pitched percussion like the drums, bongos, but NOT percussion like xylophone because it has different PITCHED notes like C,D,E etc.

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.
