Bedug

A bedug is a traditional Indonesian drum made from wood and animal hide, similar to a large tambourine but shaped like a barrel. It produces deep, resonant sounds and is typically played during religious events, celebrations, and festivals. Often used in mosques or community gatherings, the bedug helps signal prayer times or mark special occasions. Its rhythmic beats carry cultural and spiritual significance, serving as a communication tool and a symbol of community unity in Indonesian society.
