👉 Percussionists are musical instruments that produce sound by striking or pressing on a metal, wood, or other material. These instruments include drums, trumpets, trombones, saxophones, cellos, and even some electronic drum machines. Percussionists often play in bands or orchestras to add texture and depth to their performances. Some percussionists specialize in specific types of music, such as brass players for jazz, woodwind players for classical music, or percussionists for rock music.
