Person 1: "Why are you hitting your TV like that?"

Percussion Ensemble

A group of musicians who play percussion instruments. They are not always all percussionists. They play music that is percussion only. Sometimes a low string instrument can be included.
The percussion ensemble played a latin song that featured the marimba.

Percussion Therapy 

Time spent unwinding or otherwise blowing off stress and steam at a shooting range.
What a horrible day; good thing I already had a percussion therapy session planned for this evening.
