More than 2500 years ago, the drum was an important component of Buddhist practice. In Buddha's time, the drum, and subsequently the gong, were used to gather everyone to announce the precepts meal times, Dharma talks. Even today in many monasteries the monks or nuns ring the temple bell and play the drum to call the community for practice.

The practice of drumming combines breath, Sutra chant, or Mantra or Nembutsu with repetitious punctuated wooden drum wraps.
