Glong yao

Glong yao

Glong yao ( _th. กลองยาว) is a long drum used in Thailand. It is generally slung over the shoulder and played with the hands. It has a wooden body and a drumhead made from water buffalo skin, and is usually decorated with a colorful skirt. It is played in many festival parades in Thailand. Extremely large "glong yao", which may be up to 10 m in length, are sometimes encountered in parades, where they are carried by truck.

Similar drums are used by the Dai people of the Yunnan province of southwest China, as well as in Burma.

Since the late 20th century the Remo company has produced synthetic "glong yao" in four sizes. [cite web |url=http://www.remo.com/portal/products/6/16/35/as_klong_yao.html |title= Remo - Products - Klong Yao|accessdate=2008-04-10 ]
