Introduction and history
The Siamese Long Drum, more commonly known as Theut Theung or Klong Yao, is highly popular among the Siamese community in Perlis. This drum symbolizes the cultural identity of the Siamese people across various aspects of traditional performances, including music, dance, classical dramatic arts, and ceremonies or celebrations. The Siamese occupation of Kedah and its territories in 1821 led to significant cultural assimilation, particularly among the neighboring northern states of Malaysia.
• The music of the Siamese Long Drum is often performed at celebratory events, such as wedding processions, processions for dignitaries, religious ceremonies, and other occasions.
• The songs performed include Loy Khratong, Rambong, Caca, and Lagu Gendang Panjang. For dignitary processions, Loy Khratong and Rambong are often played, while for wedding processions, the preferred songs are Caca and Lagu Gendang Panjang.
• Traditional Siamese attire.
• White or yellow cloth tied around the head and hands.

• Siamese long drum (Klong Yao).
• The drum is hung over the player's shoulder using a strap, allowing freedom of movement during the performance.
• A minimum of five drummers is required to produce a rich and layered sound.
• The performance is accompanied by other musical instruments, including Ching, Chap, Grap, and Mong.
