What is a "daf"?

A daf is a traditional frame drum used in Middle Eastern and Central Asian music. It consists of a circular wooden frame with a single drumhead stretched over it. The drumhead is usually made of animal skin or synthetic material. The daf is played by striking the surface with the hands, often while the player holds it vertically or at an angle. It produces a rich, resonant sound with a distinctive, deep tone and is commonly used in folk music, religious ceremonies, and festivals to provide rhythmic accompaniment and enhance the musical experience.
