A member of the membranophone family, the derbouka is a single-headed drum with a short, dry, and penetrating sound. It is traditionally made of ceramic, but can also be made of metal. The skin is made of goat or fish, and is often glued to the edge of the drum. The tension of the skin is adjusted by heating it (near a fire or by rubbing it with the hands).
