A djembe (/ˈdʒɛm.bɛ/ JEM-be) (also spelled djembé, jembe, jenbe, djimbe,
jimbe, or dyinbe[1][2][3]) is a rope-tuned skin-covered goblet drum played with
bare hands, originally from West Africa. According to the Bambara people in
Mali, the name of the djembe comes from the saying "Anke djé, anke bé"
which translates to "everyone gather together in peace" and defines the drum's
purpose. In the Bambara language, "djé" is the verb for "gather" and "bé"
translates as "peace".[4]

Cymbals are a common percussion instrument. Cymbals consist of thin,
normally round plates of various alloys; see cymbal making for a discussion of
their manufacture. The majority of cymbals are of indefinite pitch, although
small disc-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note (see:
crotales). Cymbals are used in many ensembles ranging from the orchestra,
percussion ensembles, jazz bands, heavy metal bands, and marching groups.
Drum kits usually incorporate at least a crash, ride or crash/ride, and a pair of
hi-hat cymbals.

• Maracas sometimes called rumba shakers and various other names,
are percussion musical instruments—rattles—that originated in Latin
America. They are classified as idiophones. Players hold them by their
handles, usually in pairs, and shake them. Traditional maracas consist
of hollow balls made from dried gourd shell (cuia "koo-ya") or
coconut shell filled with seeds or dried beans and mounted on a
wooden handle. Modern maraca balls are also made of leather, wood,
or plastic.[1]

•
Kulintang is a modern term for an ancient instrumental form of music
composed on a row of small, horizontally laid gongs that function melodically,
accompanied by larger, suspended gongs and drums. As part of the larger
gong-chime culture of Southeast Asia, kulintang music ensembles have been
playing for many centuries in regions of the Eastern Malay Archipelago—the
Southern Philippines, Eastern Indonesia, Eastern Malaysia, Brunei and
Timor,[6] although this article has a focus on the Philippine Kulintang
traditions of the Maranao and Maguindanao peoples in particular. Kulintang
evolved from a simple native signaling tradition, and developed into its present
form with the incorporation of knobbed gongs from Sunda.[5] Its importance
stems from its association with the indigenous cultures that inhabited these
islands prior to the influences of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity or
the West, making Kulintang the most developed tradition of Southeast Asian
archaic gong-chime ensembles.

Timpani, or kettledrums, are musical instruments in the percussionfamily. A
type of drum, they consist of a skin called a head stretched over a large bowl
traditionally made of copper. They are played by striking the head with a
specialized drum stick called a timpani stick ortimpani mallet. Timpani
evolved from military drums to become a staple of the classical orchestra by
the last third of the 18th century. Today, they are used in many types
of musical ensembles including concert,marching, and even some rock bands.

• The tambourine is a musical instrument in the percussion
family consisting of a frame, often of wood or plastic, with pairs of
small metal jingles, called "zils". Classically the term tambourine
denotes an instrument with a drumhead, though some variants may not
have a head at all. Tambourines are often used with regular percussion
sets. They can be mounted, but position is largely down to preference.
