Carved of sleek mahogany, this handsome kendang drum has two
faces. Its voluptuous hourglass form adds resonance and sound
to Balinese ceremony. This superb percussion instrument by Khoirul
Anam is carefully sculpted of richly-grained mahogany wood.
The artisan then affixes the double goatskin drumheads with
black nylon rope. It is placed on the lap and both drums played
simultaneously by hand.

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."
