Bongos

Paired drums with calf or plastic heads which are tunable - usually at the interval of a fourth. Since they are smaller in size, they are played primarily with the fingers and the pattern most often used is called martillo. The small drum is on the left side and the drums are traditionally placed between the knees of the performer. Bongos can be mounted on stands when playing in a standing position or when using them in a multiple percussion set up.
