Agung a tamlang (membranophone)

The Agung a Tamlang is a type of Philippine slit drum made of hollowed out
bamboo in imitation of the real agung. Pitch is determined by the length and depth
of the slit. The agung a tamlang is used as practice for the real agung: players
either use either one agung a tamlang (hold it with one hand and using the other to
strike it with a beater) or using two agung a tamlangs where the other agung is held
with ones feet.

Dabakan (membranophone)

The dabakan is a single-headed[4] Philippine drum, primarily used as a supportive

instrument in the kulintang ensemble. Among the five main kulintang instruments,
it is the only non-gong element of the Maguindanao ensemble. The dabakan is
frequently described as either hour-glass, [5] conical,[3] tubular,[1] or goblet in shape[6]
Normally, the dabakan is found having a length of more than two feet and a
diameter of more than a foot about the widest part of the shell. [2] The shell is carved
from wood

[5]

either out of the trunk of a coconut tree or the wood of a jackfruit tree

which is then hollowed out throughout its body and stem. The drumhead that is
stretched over the shell is made out of either goatskin,[2] carabao skin,[7] deer
rawhide,[8] or snake[6]/lizard skin, with the last considered by many dabakan
practitioners as the best material to use.[8] The drumhead is then fastened to the
shell first via small metal wire and then using two hoops of rattan[2] very tightly to
allow the rattan sticks to bounce cleanly. [9] Artists, especially the Maranao, would
then carve the outside of the shell with elaborate and decorative okkil patterns.

Gandang (membranophone)
The Gandang is an cylindrical ornately pattered double-headed barrel drum (also
from the Maranoa people.) It plays alongside the Kulintang ensemble and is made
of wood with a membrane made of carabao/water buffalo skin on each side. It is
decorated with okiran/crocodile motives and then painted.

Babandil (idiophone)
The babandil is a single, narrow-rimmed Philippine gong[1] used primarily as the timekeeper
of the Maguindanao kulintang ensemble.[2] The babandil usually has a diameter of roughly one

foot making it larger than the largest kulintang gong and comparable to the diameter of the agung
or gandingan. However, unlike the gandingan or the agung, the babendil has a sunken boss
which makes the boss relatively non-functional.[3] Because of their sunken boss, babendils are
instead struck either at the flange or the rim, using either bamboo betays or a strip of rattan,
producing a sharp, distinctive metallic clang[2] and are sometimes considered false gongs. In
fact, this distinction makes the babendil classified as a bell in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification
(if it were struck at the boss, it would be considered a gong.)[3]
Babandils are normally made out of bronze but due to the scarcity of this metal in Mindanao,
most gongs, including the babendil are made out of more common metal such as brass, iron and
even tin-can.[1]
