Some percussion instruments are more commonly used than others. Timpani, for example, has been seen in Western Classical Music since the 17th century and became a standard orchestral instrument long before many other percussion instruments. Snare drum, bass drum, and crash cymbals were adopted soon thereafter and quickly became associated with the orchestra as well.
