A lag-na, or na, is an ancient Tibetan frame drum.[1] The drumhead has a minimum diameter of about one metre.[2] Like the dhyāngro (the principal drum of the jhakri shamans of Nepal) the lag-na has a carved, wooden handle.[3] One plays the na by striking its drumhead with a heavy percussion mallet.[2]
