The janggu is an hourglass-shaped drum made of animal skins and has a wooden body. The two skin heads are lapped onto metal hoops that are placed over the open ends of the body and secured by rope counter-loops. The janggu is used in court or classical music and played with one stick and one hand, while two sticks are used for folk music and the janggu dance.
