A kebero is a double-sided, conical hand drum used in traditional Ethiopian music. The smaller kebero is primarily used at weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies. This larger version of the kebero is used in the liturgical music of Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Christians (a form of worship called wereb), while the smaller versions are used in secular celebrations. The kebero is made from a hollowed-out tree trunk. Hard particles are placed inside the wooden sound box, and two cowhides are stretched over the ends, with one end larger than the other. The leather drumheads are secured with twisted laces. The musicians typically play on the larger of the two drumheads, carrying the drum on a strap over their shoulder.
