percussion instruments divide into two groups. what are they?

my opinion is that they divide into three groups. you have drums, mallets, and everything else. the drums are simple, bass, snare, tenor, and some other random ones here and there. mallets are marimba, vibes, xylophone, and electronic keyboards (yes you can play some with mallets!). and then everything else includes things like gok blocks, shakers, cabassa, and stuff. and you can't forget the  cymbals!!!!!!\n\nor just to put it simply, what you can march and what you can't

I can play all clarinets, all saxophones, oboe, mellophone, english horn, trumpet, piano, bass guitar, electric guitar, some flute/piccolo, and am currently learning bassoon... I'm crazy, I know.

When you hear your favorite music, do you hear one instrument's part over the others? That's how I became a bass player!

There is one ZZ in ZZ Top. I have always found it interesting that the percussionist, Frank Beard, is the one without a beard.

Dulcimer\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\n \nThe hammered dulcimerDulcimer is the name given to two types of stringed musical instrument:\n\nThe Appalachian dulcimer, a fretted, plucked instrument which is also referred to as a mountain dulcimer or just a dulcimer, and \nThe Hammered dulcimer, which is a hammer-struck, trapezoid-shaped zither \nThe instruments are quite different, but are both members of the zither family of instruments.

It's not a string... I'd say woodwind, but you don't have reeds and such... But it's probably closest to woodwind.

Polyphonic...meaning you can play multiple keys at the same time.\nThe Moog was monophonic...you could only play one note at a time.\n(I happen to be one of the lucky 3000 people in the world that own a Mellotron)

monophonic tones use a single tone (instrument). While polyphonics can use many channels of tones (multi-instrument).\n\nThus, polyphonic music is made up of many channels and many instrument. You can say that the music you listen to is also polyphonic, because it's not just a single tone running around.

a xylophone works with the vibrations of the metal pieces when they are struck. Different sizes of peices give different sounds

Okay my friend, I'm going to explain counterpoint to you in layman's terms. It's really not that hard of a subject. Counterpoint is simply two different and completey seperate things happening at the same time to make ONE SONG! It's most common application is in musical theater, where two different characters are singing two different things on top of each other in the same song. It's still one song, it's not harmony, but it mixes to make one song. Now when it comes to bass lines...The bassist along with the drummer is the rythm section of the band. But say you had two bassists, Getty Lee playing one riff and Victor Wooten playing another. They are playing two different rythms and two different melodies, but they both mesh them into one big rythm. Get it? Ever been to a drum circle? Where everyone's playing different beats but it all meshes, in a way that is counterpoint. However the more accepted defination includes both rythm and melody. So counterpoint on a bass line is mainly used in the studio where a bassist can go back and listen to the recording of what he just played and then play something completely different to complement the original riff! Okay... nuff said.
