percussion adjustment

repeatedly beating something with either your fists, wrench, baseball bat, etc. until it works, or refuses to work.

My alarm clock wouldn't stop beeping, so i gave it a percussion adjustment and it stopped.

percussion recalibration

A witty, but accurate term for the act of hitting, dropping, or kicking something to make it work like it was just a second ago.

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

*Signal clears up*

Person 2: "Percussion recalibration. I hit it, and now it works again."

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.
