Ah, great idea.

I'd love to see some horns. Not trumpets, but war horns. Big one handed things we could blast out calls with. The PLAY messaging could be adjusted to have each cycle vary the horn blast sound, instead of moving through a song progression.

The idea of slapping cymbals, shaking a tambourine, or piping on a flute while fighting just seems a little off to me. Would love to use these in combat.
