A xylophone has long and short bars, and each bar plays a different note, so you can play a tune. Drums and cymbals make a bang, a boom or a crash, but they do not play a clear note.
Examples
- Tapping a xylophone from the long bar to the short bar sounds like going up a staircase of notes.
- Hitting a drum at a parade goes boom, boom, boom to keep the beat.
Key takeaways
- Tuned percussion, like a xylophone, plays different notes.
- Untuned percussion, like drums and cymbals, makes sounds with no clear note.
