Instruments which are designed to produce noise when they are struck. Many such instruments use a stretched membrane (membranophones) to create sound while others use the object itself (idiophones). Drums such as timpani, congas, and djembe as well cymbals and gongs, and some melodic instruments such as the marimba, chimes and bells are listed here.
