A percussionist is a musician who plays a percussion instrument. Although drummers and vibraphonists are considered percussionists, this list only includes percussionists known for playing a variety of percussion instruments. There is a separate list of drummers and list of vibraphonists. If a percussionist specializes in a particular instrument, it is listed in parentheses.
