The Tupan drums are drums that are hung from the shoulder and played with a stick on one head and a switch on the other. Tupan drums have a cylindrical wooden body on which two goat skins or sheep skins are stretched by means of a hoop and lacing. The tupan is played like the Persian dohol - a double-headed cylindrical drum for accompanying the sorna (Persian oboe) to be played in outdoors in regional music of Persia in the festive ceremonies. These two-sided bass drums are called Davuls in Turkey and Tabl Ballady in other Arabic countries. |
