A percussion instrument has a closed cavity (30) in which a multiplicity of sound-producing particles (3) are provided. The cavity (30) is bounded by a lower part forming a shell (20), with an opening which is directed upward in the use position as intended, and by a covering (2; 4) closing the open

A percussion instrument has a closed cavity (30) in which a multiplicity of sound-producing particles (3) are provided. The cavity (30) is bounded by a lower part forming a shell (20), with an opening which is directed upward in the use position as intended, and by a covering (2; 4) closing the opening. An inner side of the shell (20) forms a rolling surface (26) for the multiplicity of sound-producing particles (3), wherein the dimension of the shell (20) in height is smaller than half the dimension of the shell (20) in one of the widths, and wherein the covering (2; 4) forms an end stop for the sound-producing particles (3) moving on the rolling surface (26) in the direction of the covering (2; 4).

1. A percussion instrument with a closed cavity in which a multiplicity of sound-producing particles are provided, wherein the cavity is bounded by a lower part forming a shell, with an opening which is directed upward in the use position as intended, and by a covering closing the opening, wherein an inner side of the shell forms a rolling surface for the multiplicity of sound-producing particles, wherein the dimension of the shell in height is smaller than half the dimension of the shell in one of the widths, and in that the covering forms an end stop for the sound-producing particles moving on the rolling surface in the direction of the covering, wherein the covering consists of a shell which is similar to the shell forming the lower part and which, on assembly with the shell forming the lower part, forms a stack. 2. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shell is a rotationally symmetrical shell, wherein a rotation axis extends in the direction of the height and is perpendicular to two mutually perpendicular main directions which extend in the direction of the widths. 3. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shell has two mutually perpendicular main directions which extend in the direction of the widths, and wherein the dimension of the shell is greater in a first main direction than the dimension in a second main direction. 4. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 2, wherein the shell has at least one convexity in one of the main directions. 5. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 3, wherein the shell has at least one convexity in one of the main directions. 6. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two shells are arranged next to each other and are connected to each other by a connecting element and form a shell element. 7. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 6, wherein the shells are formed together integrally with the connecting element. 8. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein spacers are arranged between two adjacent shells or shell elements of the stack, said spacers being usable for adjusting the size of the closed cavity located therebetween. 9. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein spacers are arranged between the covering and the shell or shell element located on the opposite side of the stack, or a baseplate located on the opposite side of the stack. 10. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein tensioning means are provided, with which the shells or the shell elements and the covering are held together, and with which the percussion instrument can be tuned. 11. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein fastening means are provided, with which the percussion instrument is fastenable to the human body or to an actuating device. 12. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shells or shell elements are made of metal, wood or plastic. 13. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the covering is made of metal, wood or plastic. 14. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sound-producing particles are made of a natural material from the group comprising peas, beans, grains, stones or sand. 15. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sound-producing particles are made of metal, wood or plastic. 16. The percussion instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sound-producing particles are balls.
