History and use
This bamboo stamping tube (Adiril) is often used in dances. It is an idiophone, an instrument made of a sonorous material set in vibration to the player's action. Mimicking simulated feet stamping during special festivals, one end of the tube is stamped towards the ground or a designated platform in a repeated action, usually in sync with the footsteps of a dancer.
