'''Percussion''' is one of the main categories of [[musical instrument]], which includes all instruments that produce a sound when struck or shaken. This encompasses a wide variety of [[drum]]s, as well as ethnic percussion items such as [[cajons]], accessory items like [[triangles]], and the standard array of keyboard instruments, including [[xylophone]]s, [[glockenspiel]]s and technically, the [[piano]], since the sound is produced by a [[hammer]] striking a [[string]].
