Ngoma
Small engoma drum with haired animal skin membranes attached onto the whole body with twisted hide lacing, usually from the same skin. In these drums, only the top large membrane is played. The same hide lacing was used to create a small loop handle. The drum has pellets inside for rattling effect.
