Question

Are all percussion instruments hit with sticks?

Answer 1

Nope... Cymbals are clashed together

Answer 2

Not with sticks, but every percussion instrument does have to have some type of hitting involved to create sound.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. The glokenspiel, ratchet, slide whistle, maracas, and piano are all considered to be percussion instruments, but are not struck by anything to produce a sound.
