Welcome to WikiProject Percussion, a WikiProject dedicated to creating and improving all percussion-related articles.
About WikiProject Percussion
editGoals:
- To improve percussion-related articles to good or featured standard. (Timpani had for a long time been our flagship article, but it is now a delisted FA.)
- To improve categorization of percussion related articles.
- To rate and review percussion related articles.
- To compile a list of useful resources on percussion to use in article referencing and writing.
Scope:
- All percussionist biographies and articles on percussion instruments, technique, and notation/composition.
- This scope overlaps but is not a subset of that of WikiProject Musical Instruments, and is a subset of that of WikiProject Music.
Structure:
- We are a rather small project, so having directors and coordinators seems like overkill. Unless our membership expands greatly, we are just a discussion and article improvement center.
- Just like the sounds our instruments produce, many contributors give a short intense burst of activity, some give occasional, almost subliminal but important transients, and a few just keep pounding away. We welcome all.
Terminology: See Wikipedia:WikiProject Percussion/Glossary which is a local work in progress.

Tasks
edit- Rate articles in Category:Percussion with our new assessment scale. Done
- Rate articles in Category:Percussion according to their level of importance to the subject.
- Get started on Category:Percussionist stubs! When expanding stubs, be sure to submit any really interesting info to Did you know..?
- Improve Portal:Percussion to featured portal standard. It is currently on peer review.
- Get timpani listed as a good article, then relisted as an featured article.

- If you are able, record some samples for articles and upload them to Commons.
- Look through the percussion category and find some good factoids for the percussion portal's DYK section.
