Skor yike
Family of Cambodian frame drums / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The skor yike (Khmer: ស្គរយីកេ) is a family of Cambodian frame drums used in Yike theater.[1][2] There are as many as 13 different sizes, including the largest, the skor mei (approximately 2 feet across, 25 centimeters/9 inches deep).[1] In the Yike drama, the skor mei starts and ends the music.[1]
In a Yike play, there may be from 2 to 13 drums.[2] The largest skor mei drum begins, all perform, and then the instruments fall away until only the skor mei is still playing.[2]
