• Percussion Instruments
  The percussion section has many different instruments in it. It is usually in the back of the orchestra; sometimes it is right behind the brass section. The percussion section is made up of instruments that use a hammer, mallet or other device, or sounder, to strike the instrument and make the sound. The kettle drums, bells, glockenspiel, xylophone, and celesta are the only ones in this section that have a definite pitch. So most instruments in this section don't have a definite pitch.
