I am thinking about starting to play percussion. I have played the tuba for three years and the sousaphone for three years. Recently I have thought about learning a second instrument. I decided to try percussion. I am in a school band so will talk to my band instructor but I have a few questions first.
1. Is percussion hard to learn with all the instruments?
2. How many instruments are in percussion?
3. Could I learn how to play all the instruments?

it's not that no one wants to reply, but you are asking more from us than i think you realize. it's like your asking how many birds are in the world and what colors are they? lol narrow your questioning down a little first : )

Here is your answer(s) :
I don't know how good your musical skills are, or your motor coordination. I pciked up percussion fairly easily, other good musicians I know still don't get it. It's like sports - look at baseball - some people will never be good pitchers, some people will never be good catchers, some people are meant to only play first base, some outfield. Every now and then there is someone who can do pretty much any position fairly well.
1. Is percussion hard to learn with all the instruments?
Hard? You should be able to get a grip pretty easily, but to actually do all the techniques correctly on all the percussion instruments (and them remember them)? It is challenging and time consuming. I would say at least a full year to learn all the basic rudiments for the snare drum alone.
2. How many instruments are in percussion?
There are 60 (sixty) percussion instruments you will need to learn to have a basic command of the most common percussion instruments. These are the common minimum. If you don't know piano, you will want to learn it as it will make percussion easier for you.
3. Could I learn how to play all the instruments?
Probably not. I doubt you have the patience and commitment to learn them all, or learn them all well enough.

Oh my apology I will mainly be using the snare drum, bass drum, tambourine, symbols, and the Xylophone. Any advice or information is welcome.
