Kabaro
A Kebero () is a double-headed, conical drum, conical hand drum used in the traditional music of Eritrea, Sudan and Ethiopia. A piece of Rawhide (textile), animal hide is stretched over each end of the instrument, thus forming a membranophone. A large version of the kebero is also used in Ethiopian and Eritrean Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Orthodox Christian liturgical music, while smaller versions are used in secular celebrations. The kebero is primarily used in weddings, funerals and other ceremonies. The instrument is made from the hollowed out section of a tree trunk and then hard particles are inserted into it. The shell is then covered with two cow leather membranes, so that one can be tuned higher than the other. A kebero is also used in a worship called wereb. It is mostly done in Eritrea and Ethiopia.

Taphon
200px, ''taphon'' The taphon ( th, ตะโพน, ) is a traditional drum of Thailand. It is barrel-shaped with two heads, and is played by the hands and fingers of both hands, much like the more popular congas. Originally called the Sa Phon, the taphon is used in the classical Thai wind-and-percussion ensemble called ''piphat''. Moreover, it is the most commonly used drum in Thai folk music, and is performed often in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Often used to accompany performances in Thai shrines which are meant to entertain the resident god in offering, it is considered a particularly sacred instrument in the Thai culture, and is generally kept in a higher place than other instruments. In many cases, designs are woven into the middle section of the taphon. The ''taphon'' is very similar to the Cambodian ''sampho''.

Tanggu (drum)
The ''tanggu'' (堂鼓; pinyin: ''tánggǔ'', ; literally "ceremonial hall drum"; sometimes spelled ''tang gu'') is a traditional Chinese drum that dates all the way back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is medium in size and barrel-shaped, with two heads made of animal skin, and is played with two sticks. The ''tanggu'' is usually suspended by four rings in a wooden stand. The Tanggu (Drum) is known as "Tonggu". During the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Zhanggu". Its skin is normally made of buffalo's hide. The pitch and tone of the sound produced are not definite. It depends on the strength and which part of the drum skin is being hit. There are two types of Tanggu: the Xiao Tanggu and the Da Tanggu. The only difference is that the Xiao Tanggu is smaller in size, and thus produces a higher pitch sound. Orchestral works which uses the Tanggu includes Fisherman's Song of the East China Sea and The General's Commands. See also *Traditional Chinese musical instruments Chinese mus ...

Tanbou
A tanbou () is the national musical instrument and type of barrel drum from Haiti. The drum is used in many music genres of Haiti and has been influential in the rest of the Caribbean and Latin American world. Etymology ''Tanbou'' is derived from the French word ''tambour'', which means drum. Origins The lineage of this Haitian drum is complex, originating in West African Vodun systems. A tanbou needs to be crafted properly in order to get the best sound. The drum is no longer used in Nigeria, but the ''banda rhythm'' that has been kept alive by Haitian drummers, such as "Bonga" (Gaston Jean-Baptiste). Sound A tanbou produces an organic, versatile sound that can be used for dance, professional recording, and supposedly healing and merry making. The drum has survived centuries and some of the oldest are from old temples in Haiti. The older the drum, the better the sound according to the drummers. Construction The tambou is made with a stick like a vessel; a hardwood – ''tronpè ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sampho
The ''samphor'' ( km, សំភោរ; also romanized as ''sampho'') is a small, 2-headed barrel drum indigenous to Cambodia, approximately .35 meter wide by .5 meter long. It has two heads, with one drumhead being larger than the other and is played with both hands. Depending on the ability of the musician, the samphor can make as many as 8 different pitches. The player of the sampho leads the ''pinpeat'' (a classical ensemble of wind and percussion instruments), setting the tempo and beat. It is also played at freestyle boxing evens, accompanying the sralai. The ''samphor'' is analogous to the ''taphon'' used in Thailand. The ''samphor'' is made by hollowing out a single block of wood into a barrel shape. Both ends are covered with calfskin, tightened by strips of leather or rattan. One head of the drum is larger than the other to allow differing tones. Traditionally, the maker "tunes" each head by applying a circle of paste made of rice and ashes (from a palm); however a n ...
