Concert Percussion Instruments are used in modern and classical band and orchestra pieces. Standard percussion instruments are used both for keeping the beat steady and for dynamic contrast.

Tuneful Percussion is used for enhancing the melody, harmonization, and countermelody.

Traps add contrast and texture to percussion music and the ensemble.

Latin Percussion is often used in concert settings as well.
