Drumheller harp
Canon Legends version → Linked from 4 articles
A drumheller harp was a type of brown percussion instrument consisting of a wide circular base with a central pole with three O'Tawa cymbals and then a tryna chime at the top. An additional pole extended from one side of the base with a screamer gong at the top. At least six optional centressar strings could be strung between the base and the lowest of the cymbals, which was also the largest.
In 4 ABY, the Max Rebo Band's Weequay drummer, Ak-rev, played a drumheller harp alongside a much larger drum in the throne room of the crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure's palace on the planet Tatooine. During a performance of the song "Jedi Rocks," he alternated between playing the large drum with both drum sticks and the screamer gong and O'Tawa cymbals on his drumheller harp with one drum stick.
