"Kompang" is a type of traditional Riau musical instrument that is quite well known among Malays, "Kompang" is included in the group of traditional musical instruments which are played by being beaten. In general, "kompang" uses materials derived from the skin of livestock. Making "kompang" is more similar to making "dhol" or other musical instrument or other leather drum that uses animal skin such as buffalo, cattle, and others. "Kompang" a uses female goat ski on the part that is hit, but now uses a cow which is believed to be more elastic. To produce a loud sound, there is a technique to make the paired skin become very tight and not easily separated from the nail (which can be dangerous when played).
