They are in fact a member of the pitched percussion family, and as such are indeed pitched.
The udu drum is not actually a drum. It is an instrument known as an idiophone. The class of idiophones contains most of the pitched percussion instruments.
A percussion instrument with no pitch is (obviously) a percussion instrument, but with no recognisable note in any scale, producing a beat rather than a note. Examples of these instruments are snare drum, bass drum, tomtom drum etc.
unpitched
I think it is unpitched, because you cannot adjust the pitch of the triangle or play any sort of melody with it. It is used strictly for rhythm.
Pitched and unpitched instruments.
umm im not totally sure but drum
The two types of percussion instruments are pitched percussion and unpitched percussio n; pictch percussion produces a note and an audiable pitch, whereas unpitched percussion merely produces a note.
Pitched instruments produce definite pitches or notes when played, such as pianos or guitars. Unpitched instruments produce indefinite pitches or noise-like sounds, such as drums or cymbals. Pitched instruments are used to play melodies and harmonies, while unpitched instruments are often used for rhythmic support.
Percussion instruments can be categorized into two main groups: pitched percussion and unpitched percussion. Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches, such as xylophones and marimbas, while unpitched percussion instruments produce indefinite pitches, such as drums and cymbals.
They are in fact a member of the pitched percussion family, and as such are indeed pitched.
Pitched percussion instruments produce specific musical notes, like xylophones and marimbas. Unpitched percussion instruments, such as cymbals and tambourines, do not produce specific pitches and are used for rhythm and texture in music.
Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches or notes when struck, such as a xylophone or marimba. Unpitched percussion instruments do not produce specific pitches and are typically used for rhythmic purposes, like a snare drum or cymbals.
Pitched refers to musical sounds that have a specific frequency or note, like those produced by instruments such as piano or violin. Unpitched refers to sounds that do not have a specific pitch, like those produced by percussion instruments such as drums or cymbals.
The udu drum is not actually a drum. It is an instrument known as an idiophone. The class of idiophones contains most of the pitched percussion instruments.
Pitched percussion instruments include examples such as the xylophone, or the glockenspiel, both of which of defined note values that you hit. That is, you can play a "C", "D", "E" etc on a glockenspiel or xylophone, but you do not have partiulcar notes for, say, a drumkit or cymbal set. These are unpitched. The quick way to know if an instrument is pitched is to find out if you are hitting a particular note, or set of notes on the instrument. If you are, it's pitched. If not, it's unpitched.
