Daf is a Frame drum with a row of small circular metal hoops fastened to the inside of its rim, the hoops will rattle when the membrane of the drum is struck. Daf is main sacred percussion instrument in Iran.

There are many similar frame drums all over the world. The structure of daf is divided into six parts:

Frame is wooden. Skin is glued on the frame. The most popular is synthetic skin (more resistant, any wripples).  Pins are applied in behind part of the frame in order to keep the skin on the frame tightly. Hooks are applied in order to hang the rings in the inner part of frame.  Rings are the jingles of daf.  Leather band is applied in order to help the player for long duration performances
