That'd be the one on three. It's unsetting because it sounds so much
like something, but I don't know what. I'd be very surprised if that's
a 'standard' percussive sound.

To go on a tangent, there's a fine line between a common noise used as
percussion and a percussion sound that can live on its own. Eg. the
cup and the cowbell. Whereas a glass cup being hit reminds the
presence of a cup, the cowbell is way into percussive instrument land
and does not bring to mind pastures, cows or other farmyard concerns.

Sure. Thanks.
