Definition

  • The substance of the instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, vibrates and radiates sound when struck. Percussion results indirectly through a shaking movement executed by the player. Perforated idiophones are mounted together, and shaken to strike against each other. The intention is to yield clusters of sounds or noises, and not to let individual strokes be perceived. (en)
