Art/Literary - Music / Types of drum
Danish term or phrase: tammer
I guess this is a type of drum as the document relates to microphones/instruments. My guess would be something like "tams" or something.

Den kompakte og lette mikrofon er med den specielle holder perfekt at montere på tammer og lilletromme.


Thanks for any help.

tom-toms
Explanation:
According to Chambers it can also be written "tam-tam" or "tum-tum", though it says "esp. formerly" next to those so it seems those spellings might be a little old-fashioned.

I think I've also seen or heard them called simply "toms".
