Bedug
The bedug (Indonesian and Malaysian Malay: beduk; Javanese: bedhug; Sundanese: dulag) is one of the drums used in the gamelan. It is also used among Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia to signal mosque prayer times. The hitting of the instrument is particularly done according to a rhythm that goes in an increasingly rapid (or accelerando) pace.
