tam-tam
A tam-tam is a musical instrument that resembles a gong. It is a large, flat, traditionally Asian percussion instrument that's made of metal, usually bronze, and struck with a mallet to produce a deeply resonant sound. Unlike a gong, which has a raised center and produces a definite pitch, a tam-tam has a flat surface and produces an indefinite pitch. The term "tam-tam" is often specifically used to differentiate this flat type of gong from the bossed, or nipple, gongs.
