: بنادير, binādīr) is a wooden-framed frame drum of North Africa and Southwest Asia.[2] In Turkish, the word bendir means "a big hand frame drum".[citation needed] The bandir often has a snare (usually made of gut) stretched across the head, which gives the tone a buzzing quality when the drum is struck with the fingers or palm.One holds the drum by looping the thumb of the non-dominant hand through a hole in the frame.Unlike the bendir, the tar does not have a snare on the back of the frame, and the bodhrán is played with a beater.
