Korean drum

Short description: Family of percussion instruments

In the picture titled "Dancing boy" (무동:舞童), several types of Korean drums are depicted.[1]

Korean drums play an important part in traditional Korean music, ranging from folk music[2] to royal court music. There are a wide variety of shapes and sizes, for use both in accompanying other instruments and in special drumming performances.[3]

In the traditional Korean classification of instruments, drums are grouped with the hyeokbu (혁부, 革部), or instruments made with leather. A notable class of these leather drums are Korean barrel drums.
