The untuned percussion family consists of instruments that do not produce a definite pitch when played. This includes a variety of instruments such as drums (e.g., snare drums, bass drums), tambourines, cymbals, maracas, and claves. These instruments primarily create rhythm and texture in music rather than melody. They are often used in various musical genres, including orchestral, folk, and popular music.
