Percussion instruments
play in an important role in the traditional Balinese Gamelan orchestras
that accompany dances, rituals, and ceremonial events. Gongs, drums,
and xylophones are the main components, as flutes and other instruments
lend their ethereal tunes to enhance the haunting melodies.
Avoid direct exposure
to sun for a prolonged period of time to protect the leather drumheads.
"I purchased
the "Great Dragon" drum several months ago. The craftmanship is
incredible on this piece. I enjoy playing it and get many compliments."
