打擊樂器 (Percussion Instruments)

馬林巴琴是另一種使用橡膠音槌演奏的打擊樂器。馬林巴琴是木琴的非洲名稱，它的形狀很類似木琴，但它比木琴大而且音域也比木琴寬廣。1900年代早期的許多流行歌曲都會來一段馬林巴琴「變調」 (twist) ，就好像這段「星條旗進行曲.」 (Stars and Stripes Forever March) 的錄音；馬林巴琴歌曲受美國人喜愛的事實顯示，民眾接觸外來音樂的機會越來越頻繁。

The marimba is another percussion instrument that is played with a rubber mallet. Marimba is the African name for xylophone. It resembles that instrument in shape, but it's bigger and has a wider range of notes. Many popular songs in the early 1900s were given a marimba "twist," such as this recording of the "Stars and Stripes Forever March." The fact that marimba songs were well liked by Americans shows the increased exposure the public had to foreign styles of music.
