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. Rattling objects are attached to a carrier against which they strike. The intention is to yield clusters of sounds or noises, and not to let individual strokes be perceived. (en)
