 Vocal percussion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "Beatboxing" is often used as a synonym for vocal percussion, but in fact is just one type of percussion, often used to accompany hip-hop music.
The vocal percussion used by most college and professional a cappella groups attempts a more complete facsimile of the pop music that these groups primarily perform.
It is not necessary for vocal percussionists to attempt to imitate real instruments; in fact, vocal percussion often encompasses sounds not found on a drum set.

 Percussion instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because percussion covers such a diverse range of musical styles, rhythms, melodies and harmonies, percussion virtuosi are often some of the most widely skilled and accomplished musicians in the music industry.
Percussion instruments play not only rhythm, but also melody and harmony, and percussion could also be the only category of instruments that has musical notation in all three of the traditional clefs (treble, bass and rhythm- though sometimes bass clef is simply substituted for rhythm clef).
They are perhaps the oldest form of musical instruments, rivaled only by vocal.

Beat boxing is a form of vocal percussion—making music using only the mouth to generate sounds usually made by drums and other musical instruments.

Some sound exactly like an entire drum kit, and can emulate the sounds of a cappella, rock, rappers, singer-songwriters, traditional jazz, or almost any kind of percussion imaginable.
