jingban drum

gift from Andy Clayton
"Consulted with Ping and her family, here is some info we found: The drum is called 京班鼓, "jīng bān gǔ", and like many item/food names in Mandarin, is purely descriptive: "Beijing opera ensemble drum". "jīng" is the 2nd character of and is short for Beijing, "bān" is 'ensemble', and "gǔ" is drum. In English searches it comes up as 'jingban drum'.
