The Daf is a large frame drum with chains attached to the inside of the frame. It is played by a combination of playing on the skin with both hands, and using different combinations of shaking techniques. Originally it was used to perform for Sufi Ceremonies, nowadays it is also more and more used in folk and classical Iranian music.

South Indian Kanjira
The South-Indian Kanjira is a very small tambourine played with extreme virtuosity. It uses the Indian Split-Hand Technique and a big part of techniques that are used in the modern lapstyle are drawn from this instrument. The Karnatic (South-Indian) Music tradition uses very complex rhythmical patterns, often played in unison by the whole percussion ensemble.
