The double-headed drum is made up of a willow wood hoop, goatskin heads and leather cord stitching. The drumsticks are made from mesquite wood, or g\u00f3tobo (black rod). Several studies have shown that percussion instruments such as the drum have existed since prehistoric times in many cultures of the world, among which the Yaqui is surely also found. The main difference that identifies the use of the drum is in the number of drumsticks used to produce the sound, for the pascolas it is one; those used by the wiko ya’ura (military government) are two, as well as those used by the matachines. The drum for the latter is also distinguished by having a string with a vibraphone function.<\/p>\n
The particular use of this Pascola drum is to provide the rhythmic base in accompaniment with the Deer dancer. Its percussion is considered a “beautiful and varied musical accompaniment.” The timbre must be sharp and convey joy (Varela, 1986).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":519,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-335","tnc_col_310_item","type-tnc_col_310_item","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tnc_tax_118-musical-instrument","tnc_tax_87-musical-instruments-mexico-ethnic-groups","tnc_tax_87-religion-and-culture-sonora-mexico-state-holy-week","tnc_tax_87-religious-dance-mexico","tainacan-item-single-page"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tnc_col_310_item"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":521,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/335\/revisions\/521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
