Name: MARWAS
The marwas is a double-headed drum and is cylindrical in shape. The frame of the marwas is made from jackfruit tree wood and goat hide is used for its drum skin. Marwas is struck using one hand, to accompany the Zapin dance. It has been said that it originates from the Middle East. In performance, three marwas players are commonly used, with each of the marwas at a different pitch: low, medium and high. (Nik Mustapha, 1998).
