Name: KOMPANG
The kompang is a shallow frame drum with a goat or cow hide skin nailed to the wooden frame by metal nails. It is usually found in large kompang ensembles throughout Malaysia, playing interlocking rhythmic patterns for processions, to accompany the choral singing of zikir and to perform music for various social occasions. (Matusky, 1985).
Kompang is usually played in groups with legs crossed when sitting, standing, or walking in procession, depending on the need. The player uses one hand to hold the kompang while the other is used to hit it. (Nik Mustapha, 1998).
