Percussergola - (hold this for a while... It doesn't meet the Wikipedia guidelines yet. Submit after several publications have written about these.)

A type of pergola constructed to encourage the creation of communal percussive music, involving several people working together to create rhythms and/or melodies. Percussergolas, like other pergolas and gazebos are garden structures that provide a shaded area. Unlike pergolas, percussergolas also provide percussive instruments built into the structure that can be played by participants contributing to a group creation. Common forms of percussive instruments included are plosive aerophones (instruments made of PVC pipe such as those played by the Blue Man Group), wood blocks, cymbals, drums, cow bells, bottles, cans, and other resonant objects.

The first recorded use of the term percussergola was in reference to a structure constructed in a field in central Pennsylvania in 2011. The structure features a plosive areophone designed based on concepts shared in Slap Tubes and other Plosive Areophones, by Bart Hopkin and Phil Dadson.
