Hello,Sean here.Guess I'll start writing bout my instrument...okay I'll just copy+paste from Wikipedia XD.A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound by being hit with an implement, shaken, rubbed, scraped, or by any other action which sets the object into vibration. The term usually applies to an object used in a rhythmic context or with musical intent.
The word "percussion" has evolved from Latin terms: "percussio" (which translates as "to beat, strike" in the musical sense, rather than the violent action), and "percussus" (which is a noun meaning "a beating").
Uhh,I could post a page worth of words,but I guess that's enough...The reason why I chose to be a percussionist would be because well,I've always been inspired to be one,and I had someone to motivate me for it...plus the way percussionists makes sound is totally different from any other instrument,and the instruments are like..teh awesome!
So yea regarding my previous post,I find that what I feel to be an awesome piece of music may be terrible in your ears,so ignore it
