About the Tar
A tar is a single-headed frame drum. The tar comes from North Africa and the Middle East. Depictions of these frame drums date back thousands of years.The tar is held mainly with one hand, although the playing hand also supports the drum to a certain extent while playing. It has an open tone, and is often either played for accompaniment to other instruments or in tar ensembles.
About the Bendir
The bendir is a frame drum used as a traditional instrument throughout North Africa, more specifically in Morocco. Unlike the tambourine, it has no jingles but most often has a snare stretched across its head, which when the drum is struck with the fingers or palm gives the tone a buzzing quality.
