Unpitched Percussion

Unpitched percussion
As mentioned earlier there are many other instruments which can be seen in the percussion section such as the tambourine, triangle, maracas, claves and castanets. Many of these instruments have been borrowed by western music from different traditions around the world, particularly Latin America.
The percussionists also get to play many other instruments from their “toy box” – sirens, car horns, whistles, starting pistols, rainsticks, bull roarers, sandpaper blocks, and anything that doesn’t fit anywhere else in the band. These can produce a whole plethora of sound effects and other silly noises.
 
Well that’s the instruments covered but we still have one very important member of the band yet to be mentioned, this person is the one who stands with their back to the audience waving their arms about, gesturing to different sections of the band with their hands, can you guess who that is….?
