Nice job everybody, coming up with various percussion instruments seen on TAGS. There's one more that I don't think anyone mentioned; it isn't a true musical instrument, but Howard plays a large upside-down pot as if it were a drum in Andy's Old Girlfriend. That's the color episode in which Andy, Howard, Helen, and Alice take a trip to a cabin in the woods. He plays this pot not with drumsticks, but with brushes, which drummers often use when they want a quieter, gentler sound.
When it comes to percussion instruments in modern band and orchestral music, almost anything goes. Not long ago I went to a concert where one of the percussionists was banging on a drum that would never be found in a music store, but might be seen in Wally's Garage: a BRAKE drum.
