What are the percussion instruments?

As far as I know, percussion instruments include drums, gongs, cymbals, bells, allegro, waist drum, wooden fish, chime, drum set, timpani, snare drum Jr., Malimba, African drum, pipe bell, triangle iron, tambourine, castanet and sand hammer.

Percussion instruments are a group of instruments that produce sound effects by hitting, shaking and rubbing, which may be the oldest instrument. They are not only used to create rhythm, but also to interpret melody and harmony. In China, many traditional percussion instruments are still in use today, such as drums, gongs and cymbals in drama, allegro and castanets used in storytelling. These traditional musical instruments are an indispensable part of traditional art in China.
