One of the main concerns of any music student is the ability and convenience to practice. The UT percussion studio, located on the sixth floor of the music building, has seven practice rooms dedicated to percussion students:

• 6.190 Timpani
• 6.189 4 1/2 Marimba
• 6.188 Musser M250
• 6.187 Xylophone & Vibes
• 6.224 Drum Set
• 6.232 5 Octave Marimba (multiple set ups)
• 6.228 5 Octave Marimba & Vibes

The percussion ensemble room (6.222) host an impressive inventory of percussion equipment, which allows the University to program virtually any work for any ensemble; large, chamber or solo. Student's access to such a large inventory also helps to provide for a convenient practice routine. Some of the more rare instruments include a 3 octave chromatic set of Burmese nipple gongs and Amglocken, the Berlioz Symphony Fantastic chimes, and the "Ionisation" air raid siren.

Here is just a sample of the percussion inventory:
