BUMMADIYA ( Sri Lankan Drum )



                                                          BUMMADIYA













In shape, the Bummadiya is like a water vessel or a clay pot. It is prepared after burning in a kiln. This instrument has only one face and its diameter is between 6 to 8 inches. Animal hides (goat, monkey or monitor lizard) are used to cover the face. In Kandyan villages this drum is played while harvesting paddy. The body of the drum is decorated in colourful motifs. The drum is hung on the player’s shoulder with swppert of a Savaram or connecting wire. Kala Ham or Kalabera are synonyms for the Bummadiya.
