Unlike idiophones, membranophones produce their sound by the vibration of a single membrane in the instrument, rather than the entire body of the instrument. This is the category in which most all the traditional "drums" can be found -- every modern drum set uses several membranophones (snare, tom-toms, bass) and idiophones (cymbals).
