Contrast Between the Other Percussion Instruments and the Piano (1) (Draft)

Let's contrast between the drum, the timpani, and the piano.

Drum makes sound by drumstick striking the drum head.

Timpani makes sound by mallet striking the timpani head.

Piano makes sound by finger pad (2, 3, 4, 5) or the side of the finger (1) depressing the key moving the hammer towards the strings and striking them.

That is, what drummers do with their hand and drumstick, and what timpanists do with their hand and mallet, pianists have to do with the hand (finger pads (2, 3, 4, 5) and the side of the finger (1)), key and hammer.
