Percussion
“Beating with shock”
The term comes from Latin Percussion. "Percutio, Percussi, percussum, percutere" means something like "beat, shaken by blows." Percussion thus refers to one type of music that is played with percussion instruments, on the other hand is synonymous with Percussion Percussion in general. The percussion instruments can be grouped again in membranophones (fur Klinger; Greek "membrana" - skin), so instruments such as drums and timpani and Ideophone (self Klinger; Greek "idios" - owned), as mallet instruments without fur, rattles, etc.
