The Samphor, a two-skin horizontal dram, leads the orchestra. It gives the start, marks the pauses and sets the rythm.
The Samphor is supported by two Skor Thom, large oblique drums, and by Chhing, small bronze cymbals with a high pitch tone.
Sbaek Touch (literally "small leather"), which was originally performed from village to village, uses smaller puppets and tells ancient and contemporary folktales with comic characters.
