Tektekan
Tektekan is played with bamboo slit drums, called kul-kul, that are cradled in the players' arms and struck with a wooden mallet, producing a sharp rhythmic sound. Groups of between 10 and 20 players strike these in interlocking patterns similar to kotekan, and they are sometimes accompanied by drum and gongs to punctuate rhythmic cycles.
Tektekan is often used to accompany a performance called calanarong, a ritual drama wherein men go into trance and are possessed by the spirits of witches, led by a queen named Rangda. This ritual is believed to be dangerous to both participants and spectators, and is only carried out at specific times under conditions very carefully controlled by a Balinese priest. Today, a more benign form of calanarong is staged for tourists in Bali, where the participants simply enact the possession. However, many of the same precautions are taken, as there is always a danger that the reenactment could become real.
Other uses of tektekan include processions, since the instruments are very portable. Tektekan has also recently been incorporated into new gong kebyar pieces.
