Category:Percussion instruments by usage

This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories.

Note that it is not unusual for an instrument to belong to several of the subcategories of this or the other percussion classification container categories. It should normally be in at least one direct or indirect subcategory of each of these container categories.
