Hammond organs also have a harmonic percussion effect, in which the 2nd and 3rd harmonic tones can be added to the attack envelope of a note.
The right drum head has a circular disk in the centre called karne causing the drum to produce harmonic tones.
This technique is used to produce harmonic tones that are otherwise inaccessible on the instrument.
