Korean Drum
Korean drums play an important part in traditional Korean music, ranging from folk music to royal court music. There are a wide variety of shapes and sizes, for use both in accompanying other instruments and in special drumming performances. In the traditional Korean classification of instruments, drums are grouped with the ''hyeokbu'' (혁부, ), or instruments made with leather. A notable class of these leather drums are Korean barrel drums.
