Title	Double-headed hand drum
Subject	Drum Musical instruments Musical instruments -- Korea Percussion instruments Dance Folk dancing Folk music -- Korea Korea -- Rites and ceremonies Korea--Social life and customs
Description	This type of drum, called a sogo, is played by dancers while performing nong'ak, or instrumental folk music. The music is featured during village rites, shamanic rites, collective work sessions (such as weeding or planting) and as entertainment for the public. It is performed by a percussion band featuring a small gong, which sets the rhythm, a large gong, a round barrel drum, a large hourglass drum, and often a conical oboe-like instrument called the taep'yongso, which provides melody. The musicians dance as they play. Additional dancers beat time to the music with small hand-held drums like this one. The most dramatic of the dances in which the drum is used is the "spinning hat dance." Some of the dancers wear black hats with long paper streamers attached to a swivel on top. As the music intensifies, the dancers spin the streamers in ever higher circles by moving their heads, beating a small gong or drum as they whirl their streamers in unison.
