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 enclosed in a vessel or are attached to a net slipped over a vessel. They strike against each other or against the walls of the vessel, or usually against both. The intention is to yield clusters of sounds or noises, and not to let individual strokes be perceived. Fruit shells with seeds, 'pellet bells' enclosing loose percussion pellets. (en)
