Jabara is an instrument that makes sounds by hitting against its brass. It is also called as ‘Bara’, ‘Ball’ Jaegeum.’ Jabara was from India, which is related to Buddhism. It is easily found in the Buddhist culture of China and Japan. Aside from using in Buddhism, Buddhist music, for the ceremony (for death), or dance. Jabara is similar to Cymbals in western instruments
Jabara is an instrument that is made by hitting the brass. Make a frame of thin and circular shape and make it bulky in the middle outer way and put hole. Put thread inside the hole and make a handle, but Jing for Daechita or Exorcism used long white cotton cloth.
Jabara makes it sounds by bumping two sides of each other. When the player is playing, open both hands widely and close it to make big sounds or hang Jing on the neck. In Dachita, hold on each side and raise hands and hit it. Most of the Jabara played slowly to make a beat, but for Exorcism, play fast and hit as rubbing to make sounds.
