==== Striker ====

We use the term striker to describe an element with an arm and head that excites a percussive instrument to resonate when they contact one another with a blow of some force. Actuation of the striker, regulation of the force and mass of the head for various purposes are described below.

~~==== Hand held mallet ====~~

~~Used to play orchestral bells, gongs and metallophones, these mallets consist of sticks with heads of relatively soft materials.~~

==== Internal clapper ====

We refer to any striker that is mounted inside the bell as a clapper.

For stationary bells, the clapper is typically supported close to one ideal strike point and an externally applied force moves the head toward the bell for a single strike.
