Kettledrums are percussion instruments that consists of a bowl-shaped shell with a drum head stretched over the shell. The bowl is usually a hollow brass, copper, or fiberglass hemisphere. The drum head is made of a natural skin (although synthetic heads can also be used). The drum head is attached with ropes or adjusting screws to control the tension, which can be changed to vary the pitch. Ethnic kettledrums are usually played with sticks or beaters, although kettledrums can also be played with hands.
