"We've got the beat"

Hello, Strands fans! Today's puzzle was considerably easier than yesterday's The word "beat" in the subject "We've got the beat" immediately made me think of drums, and sure enough, there was a DRUM in the upper left corner

I quickly found CYMBAL to its right, leaving a neat gap between the two for the first two letters of the spangram: PERCUSSION

At the very end of the spangram I found TAMBOURINE next to 'N'

There were two answers on the left, and it didn't take long: the RATTLE wrapped around the lower left corner, leaving a TRIANGLE to complete the set

Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more difficult
