A very rare instrument used in Oman Folk Music
My name is Ahmed Almusawi, and I’m a TV/film composer and music producer from the Sultanate of Oman. I’m thrilled to be making my second contribution to this vibrant community.
Allow me to introduce you to the Rahmani Drum, also known as the Bass Drum, a rare instrument cherished in Oman’s folk music tradition. Alongside the Kasir, it forms the backbone of Omani percussion. The Rahmani is particularly prominent in transitional musical forms accompanied by rhythmic beats.
Larger than the Kasir, the Rahmani emits a deep, resonant sound. Its ends are adorned with goatskin or sheepskin, tightly secured with ropes crafted from palm fiber or leather.
Rahmani Drums come in four distinct types, primarily seen in two shapes: barrel-shaped and hourglass-shaped. The Rahmani, as featured here, finds its place in the southern part of Oman, specifically in the Dhofar Region.
