"Samphor" and "Skor Thom" Drums

"Samphor" and "Skor Thom"   Drums

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.
