Description:
The glowing grain of sleek mahogany curves gently from end to
end, giving resonance to a kendang drum. Its mesmerizing beat
recalls Bali's legends and ritual ceremonies. This extraordinary
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 are played simultaneously.

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."
