As a musician, this is how I feel when talking to percussionists. Pretty much anything that makes a sound can be used for percussion and plenty of them have been given specific names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_percussion_instruments

Yeah, I'm an amateur musician and can tell the difference between different kinds of saxomophone, between cellos and violas, and so on. But, there are a lot of things I'd just call "drums" that have specialty names. I mean, how many names are there for "large upright drum that you play with your fingertips and thumbs while it sits between your legs"?

I'm new to saxomophone, any relationship with the xylophone?

I don't know, you'd have to ask the expert.

My favorite percussion instrument, "alarm device"

Somebody had a fire drill during band class and said "write that down, write that down!"
