Two thick vertical bars marking a staff of unpitched instruments.
Also known as: Neutral clef, Drum clef
The percussion clef is two thick vertical strokes saying that the staff carries instruments rather than pitches. It is not a clef in the ordinary sense: it fixes nothing, and the staff's meaning comes from the key printed with the part.
Marks a staff as carrying unpitched percussion, drawn as two thick vertical bars at the start of the staff.
