The Tamak' is a stick-struck double-headed musical drum that is found among the Santal people of India. The body of the musical instrument is produced from metal and shaped like a large bowl. The head of the musical instrument is often of cowhide and 14 to 18 inches in diameter. The player of the musical instrument strikes the drum with a pair of drum sticks. The Santal people believe that the musical instrument has unique religious powers. The musical instrument is often used for religious cerebrations and Santal festivals. The rhythm of the musical instrument normally sets the basic metric and or rhythmic style for Santal dances and it is an important musical instrument for traditional Santal music.
