Percussion

A percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck.  Common examples of percussion instruments include: tympani, snare drum, bass drum, bongos, congas, etc.

I am a proud percussionist from back in the day.  Once when my nephew Steve was visiting I mentioned that I was percussion major in college.  He asked what that meant and I said “percussion means to strike or hit.”

He hit me on the arm and said, “I just percussed you.”

Not bad for a six year old (at that time).
