What is a "bongo drum"?
A bongo drum is a pair of small, hand-played drums that are typically attached together. Each drum has a cylindrical shape with a wooden or plastic shell and a drumhead made of animal skin or synthetic material. The bongo drums are played by striking the drumheads with the fingers or palms, producing sharp, lively sounds. They are commonly used in Latin American music, especially in genres like salsa and Afro-Cuban music, as well as in various other musical styles. The bongo drums add a rhythmic, percussive element to performances and are known for their bright, energetic tones.
