Kanjira

Comes from India and has a single pair of jingles at the top part of the frame. The head is traditionally made of fish skin and is very elastic which allows the head tension to be adjusted by the left hand to bend the pitch of the drum while playing. These drums are very small - usually 6 inches in diameter and require an intricate playing style much like that used in tabla and mirdangam of the classical Indian drumming tradition.
