Cambodia’s Traditional Drum: The Heartbeat of Khmer Culture
The traditional Cambodian drum, known as Skor or Skor Thom, is a vital instrument in Khmer music and ceremonies. Made from wood and animal hide, these drums produce deep, resonant tones that set the rhythm for traditional performances.
The Skor is often used in the Pinpeat orchestra, accompanying classical dance, religious rituals, and festive celebrations. Its powerful beats symbolize the heartbeat of Cambodia’s cultural identity, connecting the past to the present.
Crafted by skilled artisans, each drum is a work of art, reflecting the harmony between craftsmanship and tradition.
