Klong that
(Thai: กลองทัด, pronounced [klɔːŋ tʰát]) are large barrel drums used in the classical music of Thailand. They are played with large wooden sticks. They are usually played in a pair and used in the piphat ensemble. Drums of this kind have also been called klong chatri (กลองชาตรี) and klong túk (กลองตุ๊ก).
A similar drum, called skor thom, is used in Cambodian classical music.
The "Klong That" is a cylindrical drum with a slightly flared shape in the middle, resembling a barrel. It has two drumheads, each secured by pins called "Sae," (แส้) traditionally made of elephant skin, animal bones, or metal. Usually play using two drumsticks. Each set of drumsticks has two ends: one producing a high-pitched sound called "Tua phu"(ตัวผู้) (male) and the other producing a low-pitched sound called "Tua mia"(ตัวเมีย) (female). The "Tua Phu" is positioned on the right side of the drummer, while the "Tua mia" is on the left.
The "Klong That" is believed to be an ancient Thai drum and has been used in traditional Thai music performances since ancient times up to the present day, often played as part of traditional Thai orchestras.
The "Klong That" drum is a percussion instrument in the Thai musical tradition, categorized as a rhythmic accompaniment instrument. It is played in conjunction with the "Ta Phon" (ตะโพน) Thai drum, where the "Klong That" typically plays the primary beats, leaving gaps in between beats for the "Ta Phon" to fill in with additional rhythms. This interaction between the two instruments ensures synchronization according to the song's rhythm.
While most songs utilize both the "Klong That" and "Ta Phon," there are some pieces where only the "Klong That" is played without the "Ta Phon" accompaniment.
The Klong That is a large drum belonging to the Attavitta category, primarily used in the Suvarnabhumi region and its surrounding areas. Historical records indicate that during the period between 298 and 342 AD, there were two Thai kingdoms known as the Chok and Ba regions, situated in the central part of the Yangtze River basin. The "Cho" kingdom, ruled by King Chor Pa Ong from 310 to 343 B.E., was identified as a Thai ethnic group during that time.
It is documented that China acquired musical instruments from the Thai people residing in the southern part of the river basin, particularly along the Yangtze. Notably, a type of drum still utilized in China today is referred to as the "Nan Tang Ku," denoting drums of the Southern people. This drum closely resembles the Thai "That" drum, signifying its Thai origin since ancient times.
