This sand-clock shaped drum is usually made using the timber of ‘ahala’ or ‘suriya’ trees. The outside is usually lacquered and decorated. Only one face of the drum is used to produce sound, which can be played hand or sticks. The faces are usually covered with monkey skin. The string used to connect the two sides is used to change the sound by applying pressure on it while playing. Common in Kandy. Made in Sri Lanka.
