The percussion noise is made by beating two pieces of metal onto the side of the drum. The friction drum is a simple membrane drum with the lower end open. The stick is pierced through a hole in the center of the membrane and hangs inside the body of the drum being suitably attached to the membrane by small cross pieces pierced through the stick itself. The player usually sits on the ground with the drum resting on his legs, the open end toward his body. Having moistened his hands or sometimes a cloth) with water he sets the membrane in vibration by the friction of his hands pulling the stick downwards towards him. In this way a roaring sound is made and rhythms produced by alternating the stroke between the two hands. It is essential to keep the two hands wet, having the same effect as resin on a violin bow.
