   Hand / 'monkey' drums  

These hand drums are found in many places throughout the world including Africa, Peru, India and Mexico.
Sometimes referred to as 'tik-taks', 'damassas', 'monkey' or 'prayer' drums, they are incredibly easy to play by rolling the stick between the palms of both hands or by twisting the stick with one hand - different rhythms can be achieved by changing pace and they can be used as a percussion instrument, a ritual or prayer drum.  They are also loved by children and are great for hand-eye co-ordination.
