A lag-na, or na, is an ancient Tibetan frame drum. [2] The drumhead has a minimum diameter of about one metre. [3] Like the dhyāngro (the principal drum of the jhakri shamans of Nepal), the lag-na has a carved, wooden handle. [4] One plays the na by striking its drumhead with a heavy percussion mallet. [3]
