MALAYSIAN FOLK MUSIC Music for Theater: RODAT The rodat ensemble, found in Terengganu, is another type of drum ensemble used primarily as accompaniment to Islamic religious praise singing. It consists of tar drums which are similar to the rebana only smaller and use jingles inserted into the frame. The rodat musicians accompany male and female dancers, any of whom may double up as singers. Rodat originally consisted only of religious songs, but was also expanded to include love songs in an effort to attract a younger following.
