Think about how this article begins. First we have the article title: "Percussion notation". Then we have a remakably tautological circular definition: "Percussion notation is a type of musical notation for percussion instruments." Finally, we have the title of our single section: "1 Notation of percussion instruments", a slight variation on the title of the article itself.

I contend that an article with only one section does not need a section heading and that a definition that says nothing is superfluous. I will now undertake to remove both this section heading and the definition. TheScotch 07:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is incorrectly named. It should be, "Drum notation" Percussion notation uses the same notation system as all other orchestral instruments, except the instrument name is printed above the staff. 82.41.85.72 18:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Drums are of course percussion instruments, although not all percussion instruments are drums. Yes, most pitched percussion instruments use more-or-less standard notation, but there are variants, and even if there weren't, I would see nothing objectionable about an inclusive article pointing this out.
