A tambora is a percussion instrument, resembling a bass drum in Mexican brass bands, mainly in Banda sinaloense and pasito duranguense bands. It is a double headed membranophone with a diameter of 20 - 26 inches, a fixed cymbal on the frame that is struck with another cymbal and a stand for the drum. A felt mallet is used to beat the drum.
