To make sound with percussion instruments, you need to strike, shake, scrape, or hit them with hands, sticks, mallets, or beaters. Different percussion instruments produce different sounds and tones based on how they are played and the force applied to them. Experimenting with various techniques and playing styles can create a wide range of sounds.
Percussion instruments can be categorized into two main groups: pitched percussion and unpitched percussion. Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches, such as xylophones and marimbas, while unpitched percussion instruments produce indefinite pitches, such as drums and cymbals.

The artillery consisted of muzzle loading rifled cannons. The infantry carried, primarily, muzzle loading Springfield percussion cap rifles and socket bayonets. Officers carried percussion cap revolvers and a sword. Cavalry troopers fired breech loading Sharps carbines and percussion cap revolvers, and carried sabers instead of bayonets.
Percussion caps were invented in the 1830's, with patents granted earlier in the 1800's. The first military application for percussion caps on muskets was in about 1842. By the Mexican War of 1846-1848, percussion cap firing muskets/rifles became general issue.
Percussion means striking or hitting. In firearms, a percussion cap is one which is fired by being struck or hit. In music, a percussion instrument is one which is played by striking or hitting it, like a drum or xylophone. In medicine, body percussion is obtaining information about body cavities by striking the body surface.
