The lion's roar is a membranophone instrument that has a drum head and a cord or horsehair passing through it.[1] It gets its name from the sound it produces, which closely resembles a lion's roar. The home-made lion's roar is a drum that sits on the floor. The cord then makes friction with the drum head as it is moved back and forth.
